"How is Harley doing with the baby?"
The answer? He pretty much ignores him. He'll occasionally sniff around his swing or at his toes, but all-in-all, he's shown little interest. We'll just wait and see what it's like when Michael is a little more mobile and figures out what his hands can do!
Michael is also 11 weeks old today. I can't believe how fast it has gone. Only one more week until I have to go back to work. I'm trying not to dwell on that fact though. It'll be nice to get out of the house and have some more adult interaction, but I dread him going to daycare. Shocker, huh? I don't think it would be so bad if he still wasn't a fussy/screaming baby. I can tolerate it. I'm his mom. But what about a stranger? Will they hold him till he falls asleep? Will he sit and cry in a bouncer or swing? I just can't think about it or I'll be a bawling mess. instead I'll enjoy these next 9 days.
I'll just look at these lovely pictures. Something that makes those fussy moments disappear! And it's all because I talk to him and sing him Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I love that little face!
Too cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember feeling how you are feeling about going to work. I remember crying the whole ride in both times. And then you get there and it isn't so bad. And they survive without you. But it's oh so nice to go back home and cuddle them again!! Enjoy the sun these last days of your leave!
I hear you. I too have always been worried about sending my babies to daycare. It broke my heart knowing they want to be held so much and I worried if they were just lying there crying so much of the day. But, they are all doing great and have suffered no ill effects. I feel your stress. But, each time it has been nice to get back to work and have a little break of just doing adult things for a day! Can't wait until you are back, we have missed you so much!
ReplyDeleteOh Jen. I got chills reading this. You love up these 9 days and just think of the moments when you come home from work... he will be even more precious! Can't wait to see you and hear about your little Michael.
