As previously mentioned, our beloved nanny, Linda, is out for three weeks due to a death in the family and we are scrambling over here to hold it together without her. Grammy Julie has been gracious enough to be our flying granny nanny for two weekends in a row to pitch in. The first two weeks we were able to find a temporary nanny, but she is already booked for next week so we are going to try out the backup daycare at my office. This is our first foray into daycare, and it took me about an hour tonight to put together all the things on the list that we are supposed to bring--extra clothes, pre-made bottles labeled with name, date, and number of ounces, diapers, wipes, extra socks, sunscreen, etc. The logistical part of it is harder than having a nanny, but I am looking forward to the socialization for the boys with other kids their ages, and especially so for AJ who I think often gets bored around our place. Lately he has been into playing "whack brother," which suggests to me that he is both (1) going through a lot of changes with me going back to work and Linda being gone and (2) bored out of his gourd and ready to stir up some trouble. Hopefully he won't be doing any whacking at daycare tomorrow. I certainly don't want him to be that kid.
