So is the nanny doing all this teaching and high level work with J in the middle of the kitchen? If they are seriously doing this, they need an organized, put together play area/craft space area for J. Hey Jenn or Tim, since you read here... go to IKEA, get the kid a small table and chairs that are cheap (much less than the Hawaiian shirt and backpack you got him in Hawaii), put the easel in the same room, buy some of the colorful numbered bins at IKEA, get off your butts and clean and organize a space for him, and stop making him play in the kitchen so you don't have to move from your boxed meal and iced coffee station.
I just watched the Universal video. Everyone here was right, Jenn and Tim were absolutely giddy being alone and not having to haul J around, deal with him in the merch stores, and getting him home to nap so they could be free again. Jenn acting like she hasn't left the house in years because of J. She just got back from 3 trips and acted like she never gets to go anywhere. She is such a joke.
