Late morning
Yawwwwn. What a morning. The night was great - Jeff's gone, so as usual Ethan wanted to sleep in the big bed with me and Linna. Miraculously, Linna slept soundly from about 9 pm until 4:30 am. That's a good stretch! She nursed briefly then slept the rest of the night. Ethan had a nightmare and woke up at about quarter to six, then fell back asleep.
Unfortunately, I guess I'd closed the curtains a little too much, and I didn't wake up until 8:15 - usually we leave for school at 8:30! Oops! So I rushed around trying to get everyone ready. Ethan was still sleeping, and really didn't want to wake up. He got very upset when I tried to help him put his clothes on. He really wanted to sleep more. I think he suddenly needs more sleep than he did - Jeff said this was a problem all last week, and then on the weekend he took a 5-hour nap on Saturday. Clearly all is not well in his sleep world. So we keep trying to move bedtime earlier, but it's hard when there's only one person (last week Jeff, this week me) getting both kids to bed. Anyway, he finally decided to put his clothes on this morning, and I hurriedly made his lunch and grabbed a bar for him to eat on the way. No coffee for me! We just made it to school, and then home again.
The good news is, our new temporary nanny is working out GREAT. We chose her very quickly based on her email and the interview, and fortunately our gut feeling worked out well this time. She was here all last week, and will fill in until our new longer-term nanny is finished with her current family. Kaya is mellow, seems very straightforward, and really engages with the kiddos and takes charge. They play outside a lot (she's a soccer player), and go for walks. She takes Teddy on the walks, too, to the dog park, and also wears him out here at home by throwing the ball for him. Anyway, we like her a lot. Our longer-term new nanny has a baby just a few months younger than Linna, and they really hit it off at the interview - they were so cute together! Since Ethan's at preschool a lot right now anyway, it will be nice for Linna to have a playmate.

I was researching the name Tingey on the net and came across your site. It put a smile on my face so thought I would say 'Hi". I was born in New Zealand in 1954 (hey, I'm young at heart !) I moved to Australia in 1989 with my 2 boys Anthony ( now 26) and Jeremy (now 24) and married Rod, my second hubby, 5 years ago. I inherited 2 daughters Kerryn (37) and Zani (33). I am taking a break from work while we build our new house and to have some time out. I have 2 brothers Richard (60+) and Guy (58)and we are Tingeys too. It is a very uncommon name here in Australia and New Zealand. kind regards Elizabeth
