New Nanny!

We have been so happy with our weekend nanny, Michelle~ but quite worried she would get a job that stole her away from us. She wants to be a pharmacist, and was hoping to get in to a compounding pharmacy. Well, I helped her get started and shoot! She got a job at a great compounding pharmacy and will work every Saturday- great job Nicole! Well, we decided to seize the opportunity and ask Teri, Lauren's favorite teacher at daycare. Teri is the teacher in the class ahead of Lauren (2-3 yo kids) but we drop her off with Teri every morning because Lauren's room isn't open yet. Lauren loves Teri, and often that is how I get her dressed (do you want to show Teri your shirt? Do you want to go see Teri? Do you want to eat yogurt for breakfast with Teri?)
So, someone told us that they did not think she would be interested, so we took the sneaky road.  We got Lauren in on the job and bought a  bouquet of flowers for Teri. Then we prepped her to say "please" and hand the flowers to Teri. Well, the rest is history, after Lauren's plea and bouquet~ Teri of course accepted the offer. This weekend was our first one and it went so well. I was worried to jinx it by posting anything sooner, but it was great and she will come back (even though Lauren was really sick and needed to sleep/ take medicine the whole time). Teri is probably in her later 40's and has two grown children of her own, and I really trust her. Lauren was excited to see her and had a great time. Terri kept a log of what Lauren's day was like and Lauren seemed so content when we got home. She made her play dough and colored it pink, because Lauren told her that was her favorite color. I feel so lucky, we stressed for about a month knowing that Michelle was leaving us, but it couldn't have worked out better- YIPPEE!
