Oh how I've missed being a nanny, for my first day on the job lovely little Elisabeth, aka Ellie, decided that it would be so much fun to get into a jar of vaseline!! Well, when I came to work today Stephanie told me that she had smeared it ALL over the bathroom walls and countertops and her bathtub barbie looked like it had swam in the tub of vaseline its self. So we loaded Ellie into the bathtub and for 30 minutes I scrubbed Dawn dishsoap and cornstarch in her hair to clean it and get the "yucky stuff" out. When I would comb her hair inbetween each washing (I had to repeat the wash four times) there would be vaseline chunks stuck in the comb. After we drained the tub there was a ring all the way around the tub. yuck. It was so nasty. haha but hey those are the perks of being a nanny. (shoulder shrug)
Then Ellie wet her pants (we thought we were finished potty training but apparently we're not all the way there yet.) So I had to give her another bath, where I washed her hair another 3-4 times. The vaseline still isnt out all the way. hehe. After Ellie's second bath, Nathan woke up and I had to feed him and work on stretches. He's such a cutie! And of course, like the perfect little angel baby that he is, he fell asleep right after lunch. So after rocking him for a few minutes, putting him in his crib, and cleaning up from lunch, I went downstairs to see what Ellie was up to. What I discovered made me laugh out loud. She had 5 jars of playdough out and scattered all over the table, and squished into the carpet. Now I know that shouldnt have made me laugh, but at that very moment I realized that this was the best job ever. I NEVER get bored! It really is quite fantastic. Anyway, Im off now so this is the end of Entry 1.
