Back in the Grind

Hello Everyone!
Clay and Mommy have been back to school now for almost a full 3 weeks. It has been great being back with the kids and also exhausting. There are alot of children trying to see what they can get away with almost like I am a new teacher all over again. It makes me feel like I am not being a very nice person when I am constantly having to talk to students with such a stern voice and sitting them out if they can't behave in class.

Clay has been doing a great down in the TOTs room (toddlers of Teachers and Staff). He is playing with his new friends and his teachers said that he is the best napper, he doesn't wake up for anything until he's ready. He has been having a rough time when i drop him off each morning though. We are having some serious separation anxiety going on with him and he gets pretty upset when I leave the room. Luckily he is usually fine within a few minutes. (daddy thinks it is all a show for mommy). Its getting better everyday though.

Being back at work now, I realize just how much I really loved being at home with Clay this past year and how blessed I was to have that time. Having someone else take care of our baby for the majority of his day and then only spending a few hours with him in the evenings is a tough thing to adjust to. I commend all you working parents out there, it's hard to find a good balance of work and family.

Hope all is well with you and yours!
