The final day before I return to work..
I let Solomon sleep in a little b/c I was just so tired this morning. He woke up (for the final time) a bit before 8am. We went to the gym and then to Zoe's Jitterbug performance. It's always hilarious. It's a dance class that she takes at her daycare. The kids are so funny. Most of them don't know what's going on for most of the dance, but complete a move here and there. It's pretty funny. Plus, there are always kids who get scared and just sit there and stare at the audience. Zoe gets really excited about at least once move in every dance and repeats it a lot. She also says "hi" to all of us in the audience and waves a lot... very cute.
I think we'll just relax at home tonight. Alex had a photo shoot and is on his way home. Solomon is so cute right now.. asleep on the boppy. I was trying to figure out what I need to take to the daycare for tomorrow... diapers, wipes, milk (I don't know how much to thaw), an extra set of clothes, etc...
Tomorrow, is our holiday work luncheon. On Tuesday, I get to take off at noon and plan to finish up my holiday shopping before picking up Solomon. It's just so weird to be off for three months and then go back... strange. I wish I had known what I know now at the beginning of maternity leave. I would have been a lot more laid back about things. It took me a long time to enjoy Solomon as much as I do now and even longer to enjoy my time off. It's just the craziest thing ever, but it has been a great opportunity to spend it with my new favorite person.

Good luck on your first day back. I will be thinking of you...if you need to call and be a crazy mom, please feel free. I know what you mean about learning so much. Jeff and I were talking about that tonight...I wouldn't have cared about the laundy, thank-you's or even showers....I just would have spent time with her and tried to enjoy every minute. Oh well, that is why they say your first is the hardest...what the hell do we know anyway! :)
Good luck on your first week back! I know it has to be a weird feeling. You tend to have a different perspective on work and life in general.We visited with Lindi and the girls last night. Carina cracked me up, you'll have to ask her to sing "Frosty". So funny!
