Vanessa!

Pretty much every week day, Ana (our nanny) takes Nathan to the park.  At the park, she meets up with several other nannies who all take care of kids about the same age.

Today as we walked to the park, one of Nathan's "weekday" friends and her mom was walking near us.  The little girl recognized Nathan and excitedly began saying his name!

Nathan turned, and recognized her, too.  So, I introduced myself to the mother and we had a nice chat.  According to her, it seems that her daughter talks about Nathan at her house as much as Nathan talks about her!

GOAL!

Nathan and Ana often play together with a "soccerball" (a soft rubber ball my sister gave us with a soccer-ball design on it). Ana has taught Nathan all about soccer, and he now knows just what to scream when someone scores a point...

Nathan and Ana at the park

I came home early today and joined Nathan and Ana on one of their walks to the park today. Nathan really loves hanging out with Ana, and she is a very patient and loving friend and teacher to Nathan.


It was great being able to see them interact.
