Back to Work

Tomorrow I go back to work. I am a supervisor in a church nursery and the boys come with me. Its a great deal as I get paid and get free child care on top of it all. I play with kids all day and get adult interaction. However Tyler has a little problem. O.k. a big problem - biting. He likes to bite when kids take his toys, when kids sit on him, and when he just feels like biting. However we do not allow biting in the nursery. So I took the month of October off to see if that would help the problem. Tomorrow I go back to work.

Part of me is excited. I am excited to have that adult interaction during the day. To see the kids again, to have a break from the boys and the boys from me. I am also somewhat hopeful that Tyler will be better. We went once last week to sub for someone and he did an awesome job. However tomorrow I really go back to work.

I have so enjoyed this time with the boys. We went to playgroups, did crafts, went to the park, all the things I cant do on days we go to work. It reminds me of the time, a little over a year ago, when I was at home with Tyler awaiting Carters arrival. I will always treasure that time Tyler and I had. Not to say that I don't treasure the times I have with both of them now. But that time when it was just Tyler and me and I wasn't working I will always hold close to my heart. We had new adventures everyday. I loved bringing him everywhere and he loved going everywhere. This month has been just like that - only now I have two. I love even running to the supermarket in the middle of the day and being told what cute boys I have. I love going to the park and watching them scream with delight on the swings. I love watching Tyler yell "Carter" and run up the stairs the minute he hears Carter awake from his morning nap. Tomorrow, once again this will not be my daily life - I go back to work.

I will miss all these things. But the boys love going to church and learning all sorts of things and I love working there. Justin and I have decided that I would also cut back my hours. I now will have 2 days home with the boys, sometimes more. Maybe now its the best of both worlds. I am going to treasure my days off and enjoy my days working. So tomorrow I go back to work.
