A extra pair of hands or two

Almost 3 years ago, Ian and I vowed to be hands-on parents and that our domestic helper would only “help” in taking care of Michael when we were at work.  We thought we would never have two helpers (like some friends/colleagues)… How WRONG were we!  When you have two kids, you really NEED an extra pair of hands OR TWO, especially when feeding the second one and: 

1.  the older one is cranky and chucking a ’leg-dance” tandrum; 

2. someone is required to supervise the bath for the older one, so that no flooding takes place;

3. someone is required to slow down that bike running a million miles ahead of you in the park to avoid any major accidents!

We have been lucky to have had wodnerful nanny / helpers in our life.  At the moment, our two helpers work beautifully to care for our two boys and I feel blessed and confident that our children are in good hands.  So this blog entry is dedicated to all our current / previous helpers as well as all the Ayis/ helpers in the world who make our lives more efficient and better quality.  Thank you. 

Enjoy our photos from the Spring which finally arrives in Shanghai:

Until next time, love from Shanghai – EXPO is starting in few days and we’re pretty excited to be part of it!

Ian, Stacey, Michael (who finally understands what it means to have to “share” his M&D) and Benjamin (who is a slow drinker like his mom when she was a baby!)
