Caehl’s First Blood
June 7, 2006 by alex0825
Sometimes, I believe that expecting the worst can spoil just such an outcome, or lessen its enormity at least so that it wouldn’t seem as bad as you’d expect. But this morning, one of the worst things that could happen to a baby left alone at home with only a nanny happened in all its poignant, painful detail.
It was just the third day since our last house helper left, and the first day that Pam and I were forced to leave baby Caehl and his nanny alone and go to work together. Naturally we were apprehensive, and I explicitly told the nanny to keep her charge a top priority. We locked the gate and drove off with somewhat a heavy heart. I dropped Pam off to her day-long seminar, and I went to my office. I put in an hour’s worth of work then decided to take a break by calling home. Ring, ring, ring. No answer. Then I called up my in-law’s place (just a walking distance from ours). True enough, the nanny and Caehl were there, according to Pam’s sister who answered me. But the big BUT was when she said that the nanny had something to tell me.
