So, yesterday was the boy's first day back at daycare in over 6 months. I was really worried that he would pitch a fit and cry when I left. As it turns out, he didn't even notice me leaving. The same thing happened today.
He did sustain some injuries his first day. He got two scrapes, one below each eye, from playing with a toy. The daycare provider isn't quite sure how it happened. I'm not worried, as long as he's happy and safe, that's all that matters. In the next few years, he'll get more than his fair share of bumps and bruises.
One thing that was kind of irritating is labeling all of this things. Sippy cups, food containers, clothes, diaper bag. Well, I found this place that makes labels of all kinds for whatever your needs are. Here's a link to their website: https://www.stuckonyou.biz/usa/index.asp Now our boy will be one of those kids whose parents label everything. I figure that we'll save $$ by not losing a ton of stuff.
SAHM:
I wonder how moms do it, taking care of their kids all day long. It really takes a special person to be able to stay at home. I can barely handle taking care of my kid for a couple of days without help, how on earth could I handle it in the long run? Does that make me less of a mom? No, I don't think so. I love my boy as much as any other mom. The boy gets time to begin socializing while mom and dad earn money to keep a roof over our heads and diapers on his butt. Nope, nothing wrong with that.
Breastfeeding:
We're down to breastfeeding 3 times a day now. I'm almost to my goal of 1 year. I never thought I'd make it this far. Pretty soon, I won't be pumping at work and will not have to lug that damn breast pump around. I think it will be bittersweet when we finally wean. As much as I want my entire body back, I will miss the closeness. The nighttime feeding will be the hardest for both of us because it's great snuggle time. But, I will be happy to have my body and boobs back. I'm sure my husband will be happy as well!

Kelly calls the time between about 5PM and 7PM the witching hour. At this point in the day, she is usally very tired, cranky and prone to yell at the kids (and me if I'm dumb enough to get away)...you are right on that it is hard...I guess when you have no choice you just do it and don't dwell on how much it can suck sometimes...
