Helena got a visit from her two favorite babysitters, Ruth and Maryella, this past weekend. Ruth and Maryella are two of my all-time favorite former students from Kennedy and are currently freshmen at UCSD. People always look shocked when I tell them that I willingly taught high school students, but here are two reasons why. They are both the most lovely, genuine, intelligent, funny young women you will ever meet. Helena is very lucky to have them as two of her first babysitters. We miss them terribly, but love the fact that they are close enough to LA to come visit on many a weekend. As you can see, Helena loved cuddling with them and basking in all the attention.
