Something else I have come across while nannying is the ultimate feeling of helplessness. You are walking down the stairs, in this order: the five-year-old first, then the two-year-old, then you. You have your arms out trying not to be overbearing but trying to protect the two-year-old at the same time. So the two year old goes rolling down the stairs, and so fast that there is no way for you to stop her. By the time your mind registers what is happening, she is already at the bottom of the stairs. Geeze. It is the worst feeling because you know that you can't do anything except run after her and hope to catch her by the ninth stair. Let's see. . . only 6 weeks, and 3 1/2 days to go!!! Ahhhhhh. Anyway, snack time is over, so my blog must end. My advice to you is either avoid two-year-olds or avoid staircases. Your choice, but it's one or the other.

Until next time, this is
