Exploiting the Nanny

For Lautje, the Nanny's visit was a time of bliss. Having her around all day gave him unexpected access to a doting and loving playfellow, child minder, and accomplice - which he took full advantage of.
The Nanny had no sooner arrived when she already found herself crawling through tunnels at the Mommy's favorite furniture store...
..."helping" Lautje put his PJs on (which mainly involves making sure he doesn't fall off his bed or run into walls for the - quite extensive - time period where his head is lost somewhere inside his pajama top)...
... and reading Lautje's favorite book about the elephant who has hiccups (or, in Lautje-speak, hippupps) while he is busy stealing her water bottle. Anneke similarly was determined to make the most of the Nanny's visit. And if that involved the Nanny entertaining her granddaughter long enough that her own glass of nice, chilled wine was tepid and all but undrinkable by the end of it - well, something's got to give...
Strangely, though, the Nanny did not seem to mind at all being thus exploited by the Terrible Twosome. On the contrary, she even turned out to be their most enthusiastic partner in crime, and without her, the yield in sweets and candy from the carnival parade would not have been nearly as plentiful...
