Well, here we are. The first day back in the workforce for me. Sam is now 10 weeks old- 10 weeks. How on Earth did that happen?! He is becoming more and more interactive every day and I just LOVE seeing his smile that shows off his one dimple. I could kiss his chubby little cheeks all day long and never get tired of them. I have always known that I am not meant to be a Stay At Home Mom- I just don't posses the creativity to keep Michael entertained and the patience to keep a cool head all the time. That being said, I have a whole new appreciation for Stay At Home Moms and Daycare Providers. These last 10 weeks have been so nice to be home with both my kiddos, but also a real challenge. I have come to realize that I am not "Super Mom" and that is 100% okay. Not having the creative juices for activities that stimulate my busy (almost) 3 year was hard on me, to feel like he was bored all the time while home. But, I had to keep reminding myself that I was not only recovering from major surgery, I was trying to juggle the balancing act of now having 2 children. Needless to say, we all survived, and I think we all even managed to still like each other! ;) Thank goodness for Pinterest and the Internet to keep the toddler activities rolling!
Michael has been so amazing as a big brother. I always knew in the back of my mind that he would be, but it is so amazing to witness. He is always concerned about what Sam is up to, giving him hugs and kisses, and making sure that all of his needs are met. It melts my heart. I hope that they grow into being the best of friends as time goes on.
I can't believe that this weekend we will be celebrating his 3rd birthday. Wait, what?! 3rd? Yikes. Are Tom and I old enough to have a 3 year old? What a blessing he has been to our lives. I can't wait to celebrate with him and have our nearest and dearest along as well.
Stay tuned for more stats on these kids, as we have their checkups coming up this week and next!
