This morning while organizing one of the drawers in the office, i came across some DVDs labeled 'GLA Kids 2009'. In the office we took a few minutes to check them out and see what they were all about. it was neat to watch footage of the babies and kids who were here two years ago (ones that i knew), but have now gone home to their forever families; most of whom have been home for over a year now :-)
We thought that the nannies would enjoy seeing these videos as well, so this afternoon while most babies were down for their naps, we went to the nursery with laptop and DVD in hand, set it on one of the little wicker chairs, and invited all the nannies to come watch it. they all gathered around, and for five minutes we went back in time. i loved listening to their comments and exclamations as the faces of 'their' babies played on the screen. These ladies love all the children who come into their care, and their appreciation of being able to watch this video was made even more evident when we reached the end and they asked to see it again! :-)
It was special to be able to share that time with the ladies in the nursery and NICU who give so much to our kids; women who are essentially the babies mommies, meeting their needs until they go to their forever families. we appreciate them so much! God bless our nannies and nurses!
