Yet again, it's been a long time since I last posted. As a full-time mom and a full-time worker, I have a difficult time finding spare time for blogging.
M and I are at the beach with baby boy for our first mini beach family vacation in Ocean City, Marlyand. Cameron is passed out between us on the bed, and I'm pondering how to navigate the next month of working and mothering.
I'm so thankful to be in a baby-friendly workplace. It allows me to continue a career that I enjoy without giving up those precious, fleeting baby days. But I'm rapidly approaching a crossroads. Cameron stays awake more and more each day, which means I have to spend more and more time on evenings and weekends keeping up with my workload. It's starting to take its toll.
My solution so far is to start baby boy in part-time day care. I'm set on this licensed in-home daycare in Northeast DC. The owner is a young mom who has four intelligent, well-mannered girls of her own. The house is gorgeous, well-organized, and a block from a park. The day I visited, the kids were all excited and slathering on sunscreen for a field trip to the Captiol. The owner and her daughters are bilingual, and babies who start in this daycare at Cameron's age end up speaking Spanish at daycare and English at home.
I find out if there's an opening for baby boy this Tuesday. And if there is space, he can't start until the week of September 15. I'm still not ready to take the plunge into full-time daycare, but this mama is ready for some part-time relief. Fingers crossed...
