o today I left Marshall with my friend Rebekka and her daughter Madison (who just turned 4!). Rebekka will be watching MJ in the afternoons when I go back to work in mid-November. So we did a little “trial” run – Momma and Auntie Jackie went and got pedicures and lunch while MJ hung with the Hauskins.
I have to say … it was truly one of the hardest days of my life! I was fine being away from him while we got our feetsies rubbed and polished and filled our tummies with totchos … but I sure missed the little dude! When we went to pick him up – and Rebekka told us what a good little man he was – ate a whole bottle and napped a little … mostly just hung out …
I was of course proud Momma that my little man was so good – but honestly … I was so sad I missed those little things he had done! I realized I will be so sad if I miss a major milestone like walking or his first word! I’ve gotten so used to being with him all the time … I can’t imagine anything else!
It’s going to be very hard going back to work … if and when I do.
