Where would we be without these two people? Surely I wouldn't be having a tea as a SOMEWHAT human, half-awake and almost-smiling...
Remember those wonderful words that Phil ended my blogging with last night? The sweetest ever "she's sleeping" words? Well - they lasted for a truthful twenty minutes before a five hour sleep battle began. Around midnight, Nory finally started to sleep in one to two hour intervals rather than in 20 minutes intervals and we considered this a BIG WIN. Alas, we still "woke up" EXHAUSTED and needed to call in the world's best nanny for back-up. I FIB YOU NOT, she swooped in here at 6 a.m. and got the entire family to sleep for a solid three CONSECUTIVE hours, before de-hurricane-ing the house and doing all of the laundry (bed sheets included!). As deemed so by Phillip, the world's best nanny has earned herself a new name: KUMARI POPPINS!!!!!! (Sometimes I think Mr. Disney created her just for us)!
Okay. Onto the next gem in our life: AUNTIE GEM! The "Fairy Godmother" as she is forever more declared....
With Nory's first birthday quickly approaching, we have been working hard on the party planning details. Wait. That's a lie. We had decided on a theme and were SUPPOSED to be working hard on the party planning details. I had high hopes that THIS WEEKEND would be THE WEEKEND to get to work on this big-deal agenda item. Well, as soon as sleep went out the window, the idea of planning a party did too. In yesterday's breakdown, I remember sobbing to Phil, "...and what about Nory's party?!!!"
Fast forward to this evening. The Fairy Godmother writes us with the most unbelievable news. The party is planned! The invites are ordered. Other labels/tags are ordered. The decoration list is made. The cake is designed. The "to purchase" items are listed. Tasks have been delegated. It's all DONE, DONE, DONE, DONE, DONE. Gem took the theme and ran with it and now the sweetest first birthday party of all time is happening on February 14th! We love you, GEM! Thank you so, so very much. XOXO
Our family is so appreciative of these two amazing women who are helping us to survive this gosh darn cold virus. We are hopeful that Nory has a good rest tonight (pray for us!) and that we all feel like ourselves again tomorrow :)
Looking ahead, it's clear we have some major "PAYING IT FORWARD" to do. xo

| An appropriate t-shirt for this day of Nanny Magic. POOF! Can you tell she's not herself? Turns out it's MUCH EASIER to get an un-blurry photo of her when she's under the weather :$ |
