This post is about 4 weeks overdue, because as I type, Miss Reese is wrapping up her 4th week of "school". She loves it and I love it, too! The decision was primarily made to give me some time to focus on going back to work, because that is LONG OVERDUE. I sure have enjoyed my time at home with her this past year, but I realized really quick that I wasn't cut out for it longterm. Quite frankly, I never planned to be a SAHM at all, it just kind of worked out that way with me leaving Graco and doing some contract work for the first year of her life, and I wouldn't trade it for a thing!
It's clear though, that we both thrive in environments away from each other for part of the day. Currently, she only goes to school 2 full days a week, and as soon as I've found the right fit for my next career step, we'll ramp up to full-time.
We've yet to have crying when we leave, and she is just giddy when she gets out of the car in the mornings. I hear from her teachers that she's quite humerous too. I mean I already knew that, but it's nice to know she let's her personality shine through to others besides JP and me. So, it's definitely a win-win for all of us!
I took some pics of her on her first day, but they are lost or somehow deleted, so in place, here is a pic of her from the day after her 2nd day, hanging out at Zilker Park--it's the best I can do for now.
