Hurry Nanny...Things Are Grim...

The classic version:

Wanted a nanny for two adorable children

If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts!
Play games, all sort
You must be kind, you must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
Take us on outings, give us treats
Sing songs, bring sweets
Never be cross or cruel
Never give us castor oil or gruel
Love us as a son and daughter
And never smell of barley water
If you won't scold and dominate us
We will never give you cause to hate us
We won't hide your spectacles
So you can't see
Put toads in your bed
Or pepper in your tea
Hurry, Nanny!

The 'mod' version:

If you wish to be our sitter,
Please be sweet and never bitter.
Help us with math and book reports
Might I add - eat my shorts!
If Maggie's fussy, dont avoid her
Let me get away with moider!
Teach us songs and magic tricks,
Might I add - no fat chicks!
The nanny we want is kindly and sage
And one who will work for minimum wage.
Hurry nanny, things are grim,
I'll do it!
Anyone but him.

Dearest Boobah,

You nap as I write this. I've been in a panic for the last two days and anytime I actually think about it I now start to cry. I am so excited for everything that is about to happen to all of our lives yet I can't help but feel a imminent disconnect from what we have now. I just wanted to write this to you so I can look back on it when I marvel and wonder and joy at my two children and remember when there was just one.

You have taught me more in 17 months then I have learned in my 32+ years on this earth.

You have taught me never ending, gut wrenching, volumonous, infinity, and unconditional parental love.

Patience beyond patience...which I still have to work at daily. Not because of you...but because of me.

Wonder and imagination as it passes by your tiny face in glimmers and glimpses.

You have taught me time management and organization in ways that I could never have imagined. You have taught me that I MUST in no uncertain terms ask for help when I need it. Another lesson that I still struggle with but work at daily.

You have taught me that snacks from the floor taste just as good as the ones from the box and that mac and cheese kisses taste better than the fresh stuff.

You have taught me that Kate Spade, Louis Vuitton and Coach don't dare to compare to a sticky, honey dipped, squeezy hand...and as a matter of fact, they don't even hold a close second.

You've taught me how to be a better person as I look at myself through your beautiful green/blue eyes.

You've taught me that mullets are delicious and sweet, especially when tied into pigtails.

I know you'll never remember a time in which it was just the two of us but in this short note I just want you to know how much I adore you, everything that you are, and everything that you've brought to my life. How much I love you and can't stand to be without you for even the shortest amount of time. How much I hate to interrupt all that we have built but I know that we will cherish all that is new to come and we will create a new groove and a new daily world together with Tyler.

I love you my sweet girl.
