It's back to work tomorrow. It's been 16 days that I have spent with my little man. 16 amazing, exhausting, fun-filled, busy, hetic, precious, memory filled days. And I'm sad. I'm sad that our lazy mornings are over. I'm sad that we don't get to snuggle while we watch the "Sunny-Side Up" show in the morning. I'm sad that we can just pick up and go, stay in our jammies or visit with family and friends whenever we want.
I love my job. At one point in my life, I thought being a teacher was the greatest profession possible. That was before I was a mommy. Now, it's the second greatest profession. I miss my kiddos like crazy, but I'm going to miss being a "full-time" mommy. Reilly and I have had sooooooo much fun over the past two weeks. We have made so many precious memories...ones that will be with me forever.
A small glimpse of what we've spent our days doing...
*We got to spend time with our family for Christmas--including some cousins in Chicago that we don't see often.
*We went out to lunch.
*We played in the snow.
*We played at the waterpark.
*We shopped.
*We spent time with friends.
*We thought about working on going potty in the big boy potty--Mommy failed with this one!
*We had to say goodbye to our dear Dr. Pepper.
*We bounced at Concord Bounce
*We got to celebrate Brady's birthday at one of his parties.
*We got to spend some amazing time as a family--going out to breakfast, hanging out, and just spending time together.
*We went sledding.
*We sat on the front porch and waved to the neighbors.
*We played trucks. And blocks. And Elmo.
*We talked about trains...oh did we talk about trains.
*We went to a lot of pet stores to see the animals.
*We got to have lunch with Brady at school.
*We snuggled
*We went to see "Gamma and Papa"
*We had fun.
If only hugs, snuggles and kisses would pay the bills...I'd be one rich mommy...and we would have so many more days like the past 16.
