Since my last post, I have become a full-time nanny for three wonderful kids. Naomi, 7, Sebastian, 6, and Gisselle, 2, are a joy and honor to get to know and love. Naomi is a bright and avid reader. She does gymnastics and ice skating, and loves to draw, play monopoly, and stay inside to read. She likes to assert her position as the oldest sibling by answering questions meant for Sebastian, since, after all, she was in first grade last year. Sebastian loves soccer, bike riding, and hockey. He may be small, but he has a fiery spirit and packs quite the punch. He currently sports a bruise under his eye due to a fall on the playground, but seems generally unfazed by it. He loves playing with his younger sister, and is hard to wake up in the morning. Gisselle is my buddy. We hang out all day while Naomi and Sebastian are at school. She loves her baby doll and her pink bear, and has a blossoming vocabulary and a sweet, shy nature. She just started gymnastics class this week.
Sometime I feel like Mary Poppins. I love to sing with Gisselle and Naomi, and I actually dressed up as Mary Poppins for Halloween! (Sorry, didn't take any pictures in the costume.) But the kids ressed up for their school Halloween Parade. Sebastian was an air force pilot, and Naomi was a mermaid. Gisselle was a ladybug, but she wasn't in the parade. Probably because she's 2. Enjoy the pictures!
