Just Me and Pooky

Emmy is now in her 6th week at school (which is going great! I am already amazed with how much she is learning!), so Pooky and I have had plenty of time to ourselves. It has been nice - we have played with a lot of cars and games, we have gone to the playground, play group, and play dates with friends. We have gone out to lunch and shopping. We have had lots of snuggles and hugs. I am really enjoying this time with him.

However, I think he is bored most days. Not having Emmy here all day means he does not have anyone to play with, except me. I try to keep us busy, but there are plenty of days that we don't do much.

Of course just as we are getting used to our new schedule, everything will change. Starting in 2 weeks, I will be doing daycare again for my friend's two little boys. One is a newborn, and the other is the same age as Pooky. I am hoping this will work out beautifully, since Pooky will have a playmate again. Then, of course, everything will change again in December when Gummy Bear is born. I will still be doing daycare after that - I will have 2 3-year-olds and 2 babies - every day. It will be crazy, and I am sure that there will be days that I am pulling my hair out - but I am hoping it will work. I really need to do something to contribute financially to our family, and I would rather do this than go back to waiting tables and being away from the house 4-5 evenings a week. And thankfully, I love kids, so this is the best option for me.

For the next 2 weeks, it is just my baby boy and me. I love it this way and enjoying our time together... but we are ready for our next challenge! :)
