Simon has been worried sick that we didn't have a nanny set up for him yet. 'Mama,' he screamed, 'don't you worry about these things?' By this morning he had enough and gave me physical evidence of his concern. A lot of it. All over his face and his clothes (his pjs, not the cute red onesie he is wearing below) and his fun new play mat. So I gave him a bath by myself for the first time. He had fun and kicked/splashed around and was at least marginally cleaner at the end. Certainly wetter. Then we had a little baby massage, put him down for a nap and I got right on that nanny thing.
We made an offer to a lovely young lady named Britni who we think will be wonderful. She has lots of experience (mostly with infant twins so our single Simon should be a breeze) and is from Michigan. She has been in Chicago for a while and is finishing up her degree in writing in the evening. She loves Simon and is excited about all the things we are trying to do more naturally, like cloth diapers, making our own food and baby wearing.
Simon is finally sleeping peacefully.
PS Don't you love the socks?
