My newest addition, baby A, arrived on 7/7. She has quickly become my world. I went back to work when she was only 8 weeks old. Luckily for me, I work only 15 hours/week in a local elementary school. I decided to put early intervention/private therapy work on hold for the moment so I could focus on staying at home with my daughter.
My baby spits up. A lot. So, my part-time SAHM wardrobe is an array of black leggings and sweats (the cute ones). I was thinking today about how this mundane, Stacy-and-Clinton-would-kill-me, wardrobe has truly become my new uniform....
....for the best job of my life.
A is healthy, aware and delightful. She had her colicky-cry-24-hours-a-day period. So, don't worry, I've put in the agonizing hours. But, my days with her are filled with playtime, nursing and napping.
How do you play with an 11 week old? So glad you asked!! Stay tuned for some fun, speech pathologist approved play strategies to engage your newborn..... get ready to WORK, and you may need want to change into your new uniform for this job.
