Shalom and Friends


Hola Maria! Every morning before 10 or so minutes before we leave for work, Shalom's niñera Maria (left) shows up. Although Shalom is not usually happy to see us leave, she gets to play with all the neighborhood kids and domesticas while we are at work. Sometimes she gets to play with their toys, too (picture at right). When Michael and I get home from work, we take Shalom to the park across from our house or to a park around the corner. Plus, we get to visit with all the neighborhood kids home from school, including Shalom's 6-year-old friend, Sophia, and my 7th-grade student living three doors down from us! What we DON'T do when we get home is clean our house and do the laundry, since in addition to feeding, bathing, and caring for our child during the day, Maria also does all the dishes, laundry, and housework. Gracias, Maria.
