My Fulfilling Job!


I love being home with Emma. It's been a rough adjustment for me to go from being in school socializing all of the time to at home every day. Initially I really struggled getting used to taking care of Emma and cleaning around the house. Chores like dishes and laundry never end and I felt like that's all I did...
But I finally realized those things need to get done, but I don't need to be in a HURRY to get them done. I've learned to enjoy each day and take time to play with Emma and just relax with her. I've actually found that since I've done this, I get just as much done as I did before, but I'm MUCH happier! I now love being home! I actually woke up the other day excited that I had dishes in the sink that needed to be done and laundry to do... and then I had to stop and wonder what was wrong with me!
Anyway, I'm grateful for this newfound love of my "job"!

*Drinking out of Daddy's cup... definitely the favorite way to drink juice!*
*This way is okay...*
*But this one was super frustrating! (There was nothing in it and she was smashing it into her face trying to get SOMETHING out of it!)*
*This is one of the little plastic magnet letters that sticks to the fridge... she loves to play with them and stick one in her mouth and crawl around. It cracks me up!*

Bath time... etc.


*Love playing in the bath!*
*But I don't like to sit down for most of it... mostly I stand up and then slip down to a sitting position, over, and over again.*
*We had to hang out TV on the wall cuz Emma was starting to get to it.*
*Our new portable crib! A neighbor of mine sold it to me for $20! It made my day, and I love it!*
