I have gotten a hold on myself recently. I am really focused on spending quality time with the little man while we are home. I found myself, far too often, being TOLD by him "mommy, no putey. all done email."
Yeah. There is no way, though I LOVE IT, that my job pays enough or is essential enough to the advancement of human-kind that I should miss this time with the little man. What a luxury that I only have to work outside the home for 30 hours a week. There are women around this world who do nothing but work themselves to the bone and never eat first as they eke out subsistence living for their children.
I am so blessed. Rockin Husband, amazing kid, and though we are solidly middle class in america - that makes us part of the elite rich of this planet!
So less email, less reading other mommy blogs and the NYTimes and more kid time (hence the all day off on a play date yesterday!).
So today we chilled and I only did a little email during Sesame Street. And we left the house for the babysitters an hour early and went to CAKE the newly opened branch of a cool bakery that is just down the street from us.
Little Man picked out his treat... an eclair! No kidding this kid has style.
Or it could just be it was the first thing he saw at eye level with sprinkles.
"M-m-ma I have sprinkles please"
(The stutter is worse but the manners are better!)
