Gus’ first babysitter

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

This is Fran. She’s an uber Nanny who we got lucky enough to spend time with between her real jobs. Gus loves her. In fact, when he visits her, he doesn’t sleep because he’s so excited -no matter how tired he may be.

Fran is also a godsend in these last days of moving cause I can shield Gus a bit from the packing and stress. And actually get a bit done!

Perfectly good pram

Stay tuned.

Picked up the McDonald cousins today from the airport nice and early. They’re living in Texas these days but are here for the next two weeks on holidays.

Gus LOVED them. Like when Milly & Stella spent the morning flashing stuffed toys in his face, rather than get over-stimulated as he normally would, he seems to relish it.

Hu?
