So, thanks to daycare closing, N and I are enjoying a snow day! Right now we have about 5
inches of snow, nothing compared to DC, Baltimore, Southern Jersey, but we're supposed to get clobbered later. Being home today, alone with N has made me realize how much I do really miss being home with him. T, my friend I mentioned in an earlier post, mentioned that this is how she felt with her son in DC. She missed him. I didn't really feel that way. Not that I didn't want him around, or I don't enjoy my time with him, but I was enjoying being back to work and having time to get things done without him (grocery shopping is way easier while he's at DC). Weekends A is home so I have to share N. But today I get my happy little snuggly man all to myself, and I realized that I do miss it a little bit. I miss having time to play with him, snuggling with him for his naps if I want to and just hanging out with him. He is just soo much fun. He's so happy. Now that he's becoming mobile he gets so excited when I put him on the floor and he sees a toy. It might take him 10 minutes to move 3 feet but he does it and he gets his toy! It's so fun to watch him grow and explore and I feel like I miss alot of that with daycare. I guess life is all about balance. For me daycare and work helps with that balance and as everyone says Happy Mommy, Happy Baby. I don't think I could be a stay at home mom because I need work to give me that balance, that time to be me, not just N's mom. But I do have to send a little shoutout to mother nature for giving me days like today where I get to be a Stay at home mom, even if it's just for a little bit.
