back to work

well, it was exciting to be hired in a position that i've been trained to fill. i knew that i would miss max but i didn't realize how much. i've been crying when i drive to work! he's been great. his aunt erin plays with him all day and when i come home, he's in a great mood and thrilled to see his "MA!" max wasn't saying much for a looong time. he was silent until about a month ago. he really didn't even babble that much until after he was a year. (you can imagine my anxiety). well everyone and their brother said that he would talk when he was ready. when we were on vacation, he just started talking. he calls "Ma! Ma!" until he finds me and "Da!" He says "bye", "pabba" (peanut butter), and lots more, those are just my favorite.

he's also still signing a lot. he is really depending on the sign to clear up his babbling. i love seeing him use his little hands to get his message across.

what an incredible priveledge it is to be his MA!

i'm glad that you got to go on a fun vacation before you had to go back to work. and i'm sorry that it's so hard--understandably--but at least you get to go and do something that you enjoy and not just something that you have to do. pretty soon max will be talking your ear off and able to tell you all about his day...

Going back to work is so hard. At least you have family to watch him and you enjoy your job. How fun that Max is talking now! You will have to teach us some signs to teach Caleb.

Hi Jess. It is so cool to see what a great and committed mother you are! Not that you need to be committed, I mean, not now...I don't think.
