2 weeks without nanny!

So, our nanny went to Italy on vacation for about 10 days. Dipesh worked from home so that Ic an get some work done while taking care of Arya for those 2 weeks. I was worried how it would work with keeping Arya entertained and getting my work done.

I went to the library to arm myself with all the activities ideas I could find so that I can keep Arya occupied. Little did I realize that I will be doing all those activities with Arya...
1. We did finger painting
2. We created Alphabet poster board with colorful glittery stickers
3. We created Number, Color, and Shapes poster board - again with glittery stickers. Though the poster boards are still a work in progress it was fun doing it with her. Particularly trying to keep her from pulling the stickers off the poster board after I had pasted them there.
4. We baked cookies using our mini cookie cutter shapes.
5. We went to the library a few times
6. We went to Michaels to pick out craft materials.
7. We cried together when both mommy and baby were frustrated at each other for not giving what we wanted :)
8. We spent sleepless nights together when the storm hit


Overall it went much better than I expected - luckily I did not get slammed at work. But after 2 weeks of paying attention to Arya, work, cooking, cleaning, doggies - I need a vacation. Maybe we will make a trip to Disney World soon.
