Day 3 of Daddy Daycare

Today marks day 3 of my return to work and Daddy Daycare. It’s been quite a transition from what I’ve been up to the past 2 months, but I feel like it’s been a relatively easy transition back. I was pretty skeptical and hesitant on wanting to come back. I love (most of) my co-workers and the place that I work. Do I feel like what I do is my true calling in life? Nope, not really but for right now it’s what I have and is a safe bet to pay our bills each month. I thought that maybe I could figure out something that I would truly enjoy doing while I had time off, but then I had to care for Bailey and lost time/desire to do much else J

I’m so happy for our little family that Chris has this opportunity to spend the days with Bailey while I’m at work. His main job (he has like 5 different jobs) is running his own landscape (curbing) business in the summer. So until March he will be watching Bailey Mon-Thurs and I have Fridays off from work. This will be such a fun time for him to really bond with Bailey. I think overall he will have so much fun with her, but I know there will be difficult times too. I’ll miss my fun days with her, but know that we have bills to pay and want a great future for our family - so I must work.

Here are some pics that Chris has sent me the past couple days...

From day 1, I think they were having some fun and she loves Fran the fan (we're clever with names)

From day 2, Kirby LOVES cuddling up with her

This is exactly what I pictured their days being filled with :)

Kirby and Bailey...Kirby has pjs on since it's so freakin' cold out

  

In case anyone is wondering, Oscar is around in these pics but he's a little LOT camera shy. He hates it and he's also very independent and doesn't snuggle with Bailey as much as Kirby. So don't think we don't love Oscar, he just keeps to himself sometimes ;)

Anyways, as you can tell by the above pics Bailey is in great hands while I'm working. I have a ton of pics on my desktop at work to keep me smiling through the day. I love that little stinker!

I also hope that I can catch up on blogging! I've been reading blogs on my phone while feeding her, but don't have the patience to type a comment up on the phone #purelaziness

Happy Birthday to my Hubby!

I can't believe it's already December and that my dear hubby is another year older. He loves it when I tease him about his age :)

Last night me and Bailey did a little photo shoot to create a card for my hubby. I'm thankful for a couple of things - 1) I already had the "D" and "A" letters for our last minute photo shoot idea and 2) we made it through this photo shoot without any accidents on the props (or me). All in all, a complete success!

Dear CT,
Bailey, The Monkeys and I are so very lucky to have you in our lives. You are the hardest working person I know and it drives me crazy sometimes because I wish we could hang out as a family more, but I realize that doesn't pay the bills. You are dedicated to growing successful business(es) and have proven time and time again how great you are at your jobs. You are a wonderful daddy to our Bailey bear and I see how much you love her each and every day. I can't wait to see you raise our daughter over the years, she is a lucky girl to have you as her daddy.

Love you CT!
