Savoring my time....

Tomorrow is the day I have dreaded for a long time.  My maternity leave is over and I go back to work.  Cooper was 3 months on Thursday (hopefully I will get a 3 month post written soon) and I am so blessed to have that much time off.  I have AMAZING co-workers and several of them donated leave for the days I was going to take unpaid.  Now I know what you're thinking, "You only have 3 weeks til school is out for the summer."  Yes, that's true.  I am very thankful for the short time (it could be 3 months).  But no matter how long it is all I can think about is how I don't want to leave my baby!  I am also very fortunate that Clay, my mom, and my grandma are going to take turns keeping him.  Another plus is they will be keeping him at my house so I don't have to get him ready and drop him off I can just kiss him in his crib on my way out the door.  The situation could be a lot worse.  I keep telling myself that anyway!!

As a result I have been savoring my time with him this week.  We did a little of this....
and a lot of this....
So if I disappear for a little while go easy on me.  I've already decided when I get home from work he is going to be my priority.   I can only imagine what my house will look like! 

Get that outta there!

See this sweet boy?
Well he has started this.  Hand to the mouth.....
and lick.....
and suck.....
and suck....
so I do this......
and he does that....
I will win this battle.  I will not have a hand/thumb sucker!*

*No offense to those of you who do.  I have just seen way to many 7th graders suck their hand/thumb to give into this one.
