Back at work was extremely hard! Even though I know I could never be a stay at home mother, (I admire those of you who are) I just felt so guilty. Plus for 6 years I worked 55 to 70 hours a week and now I am adamant that I will only work 40 hours. I feel as though I put my time in. One bonus that has happened is that my boss approved of me to have 2 days a week where I work 7am to 3pm. Yeah! I actually think I am WAY more productive during those hours then 8am to 5pm. I for see a road to a work life balance. I was happy to go back to work too as I really do enjoy all my co-workers. We are not just co-workers but we have become friends/family.
I had my first few visits to Urgent Care and that was an experience. However, amoxicillan to the rescue as our little dude was sick for awhile and last week was one of the best weeks we had with him feeling well. We are starting to figure out when he is tired, when he doesn't feel well, etc. It is discovering this person who is so amazing to watch as he learns and becomes the person he will be in this world. I feel lucky to help shape that, however he might be learning the word "fuck" as it is my guilty word. Even with Jeremy listening for my potty mouth to catch me, it slips out. But if he grows up to be a person accepting of others, kind, friendly, patient and an occasional "fuck" comes out of his mouth...I am okay with that ending.
My husband is FANTASTIC! He exudes such patience, calmness and strength that I learn from him everyday. Trust me this road hasn't been a picnic. It has been very hard and trying at times but at the end of everyday, I love both those boys so much. I feel so lucky to have a husband I adore, a child who makes me smile everyday and a good job. I feel so fortunate. Jeremy also has rocked our plants from seed and we had a lot of success and on our way to our farm dinner! It will be exciting! Here are some updated pictures of us when Jeremy's parents were out! Now I just need to get exercise back in my life. Even though I have lost 8lbs, I seriously need to get the cardiovascular going again. I can feel the exhaustion throughout my body in my first little run I did today. Whooo!
Here is an update of how Cy is progressing!
- He is still jamming to music! He loves it! The Taste of Fort Collins is this weekend and we are thinking of taking him down to jam to some music.
- He can say his ABC's up to G and then says this funny version of L,M,N,O an PA (P)!
- He can count to 4
- He is saying mommy (don't get excited he calls everyone mommy), daddy (just learning because he mimics), please, no, mine, more, all done, ouchy, nala, doggy, Ava (our neighbor girl whom he LOVES), etc
- He is very good at dramatic play. He fake cries a lot, he loves to help daddy with tools, he is really enjoying playing with cars, etc
- He is great at mimicking others in what you say and do.
Cy LOVES music! His teachers talk about it all the time and everyone who meets him notice it is the way to his soul. He loves guitar, piano, hip hop, kids songs, maracas, etc..
