"splish splash" time for Lila
A few weeks ago we found out that our nanny Lucy had some health issues and wanted to resign. We were sad to see Lucy go, but even sadder that we couldn't find a suitable, Mandarin-speaking nanny anywhere in SF! Feeding Arjun and Lila is so tough that several trial nannies just didn't think they could do it.
So we took an emergency trip to LA last week to find ourselves another nanny (apparently there are many more Mandarin-speaking live-in nannies in LA). The best part is that Lila and Arjun got to spend a week in sunny LA. We even set up a mini splashing pool for Arjun and Lila to play in. Lila loved practicing the swimming moves she learned during her swim class, while Arjun gingerly sat in the pool for 5 minutes before wanting out.
We are home now, with new nanny Emily in tow. So far the kids seem to be adjusting alright, though Lila seems to be having a more difficult time adjusting to Lucy's departure than Arjun. Hopefully Emily will be with us until they both go off to preschool! Meanwhile, it was so fun spending a week in sunny LA with Dadima and Dada. Thanks especially to Dadima for helping to take care of Lila and Arjun during this tough transition time! We could not have managed without you.
