Wordless Wednesday: Climbing

Crazy kid has no fear {and his mother was freaking out}

Hi Ho Hi Ho is back to work I go! And Blake gets to come too!

On Monday after (technically) (almost) a year and a half, I went back to work! (But I guess if you consider nannying work, then you could say I have always been working, I nannied all last school year.)

I started working again at the Childcare Center where I worked before Blake was born. The great thing about it is Blake gets to come with me! And (even better) he is in the classroom I work in! I am excited to be back in the classroom! 

 Playing!

 We love Miss Alishia!!

Yay for new friends!

I'm looking forward to this new adventure, I think it will be great for Blake to have more social interaction and also learn to "share" his mommy :)

Is it Friday yet?

This week I've been helping out at Noah's Ark, where I worked before I had Blake. I've been doing that along with watching Michael. So as you can imagine its been a crazy busy week for us and feels like it should already be Friday night, not only Wednesday. I forgot how exhausting it can be to take care of 8 babies!  I've been able to take Blake with me which has been great. I think it's been good for him to have to share me. And he has loved playing with all the kids too. 

Working at Noah's this week has made me realize how blessed I am to be able to basically be a stay-at-home mom. I love my normal work schedule of only 10ish hours week and the ability to take Blake with me and to only watch one other kid. I don't think I would spend the time to cloth diaper or make homemade baby food if I was a working mother (to working mothers who do do those things, you are a-ma-zing). I am thankful I'm not so I can put time into doing those things for Blake.

Don't get me wrong it has been great to fill in at Noah's, but it has opened my eyes to how luck I have been the past (almost) year, (shed a tear) to be a stay-at-home mom. Wouldn't change it for the world :)
