Here's to today, sweet baby boy

Today is the last week day (for this school year, anyway), that my little buddy will be home with me.

I have 2 long staff meetings today. And enough work to keep me busy till Sunday.

I also have people coming to clean our carpets.

Today is one of those days that I can overcome stress and frustration and choose to be calm, organized, and ok with chaos. Did I just say organized and chaos in the same sentence?

I will snuggle with my boy during my meetings. I might have to nurse my girl in one arm, hold him in the other, and type with my toes.

I will make him a yummy lunch and sit on a blanket outside and eat with him.

I will read him a few extra books before naptime.

I will play "hippo" (hide and seek) with him as long as he wants.

We will play with his sea animals in the bath and pretend he's swimming in the ocean.

I will peek in on him 3 or 4 times during his nap, just because I love his squishy sleeping face.

I will hold back any tears that try to come out and dance with him to the tune of our favorite pandora station.

I will thank God that I've had 2 and half years of crazy fun Asher-filled days, and that I will be able to do the same with my sweet daughter.

I will be grateful that I'm able to make a good living in my pajamas and still afford good care for him.

Here's to today, sweet baby boy!
