Having a nanny is like having a wife. I have always felt it somewhat unfair that wives (generally speaking) don't get to have their own wives, and I am immensely enjoying the experience. My house is permanently tidy, the dishwasher and the laundry baskets are always empty, the children well fed and tidily dressed, and a batch of fresh-baked cookies always waiting on the counter to cool. Well, actually that last one's not true, but I'm thinking of adding it to her job description. (If you missed it, here's the bit about the arrival of the nanny).
