Lana's Birthday

SO tomorrow is Lana's 1st birthday...I am going to her party with the family.  I can hardly believe she is 1 yr old already. Just seems like yesterday ash I started with her at 5 months...

She is doing perfetly and better in some areas. In Russian you teach your children to use potty at a very early age. Lana no longer poos in her diaper. She can tell us when she has to go and waits til she in on potty to go. Such a smart girl.

She is also now cruising and using a walk to do so...pretty impressive.

Happy Hump day

Well today is one of the only days we do not have a program to attend. L was very talkative today. and ful of giggles and smiles. She is really coming along with walking with walker. It still gets away a little bit but she is getting it. 
  This child loves her books. Spent most of our playtime going threw her books. Mama got her a new one yesterday and L loves it.

Tomorrow we are skipping Singable songs to attend a Halloween program at My Gym. It has been awhile since we have been there I am sure she will love it. Plus she gets to dress up. Going to be a warmer day so very little clothes under. Than once we get home Grandpa comes to visit.

At 11.5 months and she is still only got  2 teeth. On the plus side to this her teeth should be strong.

I believe she is ready for more table food but Mom is not so sure. Today for morning snack L had bread with cream cheese... she loved it and gobbled it up.  I guess if L had more teeth mom would feel better about it but L is ready. She would rather pick up and feed self than me feeding her mashed crap.

Tuesday Oct. 23rd

Wow today is my puppy Cloud's 11th month birthday...too bad the breed doesn't really mature till 2 years...

So L and I went to the Babies in Playland in the am and She was so tired on the way home for lunch. I hate it but I had to keep waking her up on the drive home. Today L went to bed early. Which is ok as Mom is finding it hard to get L to bed at night.  

Tomorrow we have no pans but can go to a group in the Am if she is up to it...

I made her some food today at the request of Mom... although I think she is ready for more solid foods.

In two weeks L will be 1 yr old... still have to get gift

Start of my blog as a nanny

So everyone keeps telling me I need to write a book about my Nanny life. Instead I have decided to blog it. 

I have worked with kids for over 20 years now in many areas...nanny, babysitter, home day care provider, summer playground leader and parent helper. This is what I am on this earth to do. It comes nartural to me and I can not see myself doing anything different.  I do owrk part time as a bartender which I love as well but completley different from the joys of working with Children.

I currently work with a 11.5 month old girl. She is a doll and I love my time with her. Her parents are younger than me and look to me for suggestions. I have been with her since she was 4.5 months old. We have grown to love each other unbelievably.  When I am not with her I think about her and how she is doing. 

As of tomorrow I wil start to tel you more about how our days go and the things we learn together. Please feel free to ask me child related questions. I love to share my knowledge.
