And the tears will come!

This is my last week with the C clan. In fact, there is only a day and a half left.

Cue; The tears!

I have spent the last 18 months with these 3 gorgeous boys. Watched them change and grow, watch Mr C go from being a very cute little baby to an active, cheeky 18 month old. Ive watched Mr T go from a shy, little 3 yr old Chrissie to a rockstar, out there, intelligent 5 year old!

Ive watched Mr D go from a neieve 6 year old, into a rocking, smart and determined 7 year old.

Ive been to swimming lessons, playdates, doctors appointments, school pick-ups, have gone on holidays, spent time at the beach, and woken up to their smiling faces for the last 18 months. They have become a part of me, a HUGE part of me!

Im wondering how I am going to fair without them in my life. As they say, life goes on. But how do you say goodbye to 18 months of love. The answer is- You dont. They will still be, just down the road and hopefully I will still babysit for them on occasion.

Did I mention they have found my replacement? Oh yeah, I dont know how to spell her name, so I wont even try, but she sounds great. I cant insert a jealous face into the blog.. but trust me.. there is one! I made the choice to leave, to take on a live out job, but it still makes me green with envy that someone else will have 'my' boys!

So this post.. Its a farewell to the C clan.. A raise a bottle, a sippy cup and a mug of hot chocolate (Dont forget to leave some bits and the marshmellows) and a much needed cup of coffee; to the last 18 months. To the highs, the lows and every moment in between. To say that I will miss them, will be an understatement. Their handprint canvas will line the walls of my new pad- as a reminder of the love that is there.

MR C WALKED!!!!!

Ok, This is only going to be a very short blog, because I am tired as a newborn baby..

But.. Drumroll...


.....

Mr C WALKED!!!!
After 17 months of changing his nappies, feeding him, watching grow and change, he rewarded me with the most amazing thing possible.. He took steps.. For only my eyes to see! Then he did it again for everyone else.

I almost burst into tears!

I wanted him to walk before I left.. and he did. Such a joyous moment!

Ok,
Off to bed! Just thought I would share the amazing news!

This Aussie Super Nanny is officially exhausted!!

What a day!
Actually.. What a full-on last 48 hours.

Yesterday I worked 18 hours, Yes you read right.. 18 hours.
I did 10 hours for my regular fam-bam (soon to be ex fam-bam) and then 8 hours babysitting for a family down the road.
Needless to say, at this point, im finding it hard to form a readable sentence.

Guess what im doing right now? Yep, Im working. Well babysitting kids that are asleep, but it is still working.. If i wasnt working, i would be fast asleep myself. *thinks of zzz land and smiles*

Today I looked after Smiley (My blog name for my new 'charge') however today, she was not so smiley! In fact, she cried just about ALL day. Except for when she was asleep, it was only then, that there was silence.. and even that didnt really last that long.

Smiley is teething, weaning and having mummy withdrawals. She is 9 months old and for the last 9 months has been at home with mummy.. and occasionally daddy. She isnt spoilt by any means, unless we are talking about love, in that case Smiley couldnt ask for anymore, but she is mummy dependant.

I have to help wean smiley off the breast (At least during the day, she still has boob morning and night) which is increasingly hard as she doesnt take a bottle. A lot of perserverance and a whole lot of wasted express milk and formulae later, I'll let you know when she will take a bottle.. haha.

This nanny is exhausted. She is also falling hopelessly in lust with one, Ambulicious.. even though she knows just how bad for her, he is. Ahhh.. the issues with being 20.. haha..

Goodnight everyone.
Love AussieSuperNanny (Well.. trying to be!) xx
