I am getting in a funk. I know I shouldn't be, I mean its Spring, the flowers are blooming, sun is shining and warmer weather is abounding. But with all this I can't help but think about the time I am missing out on with B. He is growing up before my eyes and changing EVERY day! These days he would almost rather be at daycare than at home. He always has a smile when I open the car door in the morning, take him in and set him down to eat his breakfast. He immediately starts be-bopping to the music. It breaks my heart that I can't be with him during the day! He has not even wanted to go home with me on a few days last week! That really breaks my heart. I'm so glad to know that he loves daycare and they spoil him rotten there, but I can't help but be jealous. By the time we get home around 6:30, it is time to have dinner, bath and a little playtime before bed. I don't even get to enjoy the daylight savings time with him because I dont want to throw off his schedule! Weekends these days are so busy and spent making the rounds to the grandparents and they just seem to fly by! I feel so tired and lazy on the weekends, no wonder he would rather be at daycare!
This time last year I was getting ready to return to work and dreading every minute of it. He was too small to really enjoy being outside (although he did love his stroller rides). I thought by now, it would be better. And it is don't get me wrong, but I still have this longing and sadness to be with my baby boy more. I truly believe this is one of the reasons why I haven't spent a night away from him yet. Does that feeling ever subside? I hope it doesn't b/c that would mean something is wrong with me. I just want to soak up every moment i get with him. Call me crazy or obsessed, but I just needed to vent and have a pity party for myself. I know ya'll are tired of hearing it...

You're nether crazy nor obessed, you a mommy who wants to spend more time with her little man! I can not give you a lot of advice, because I am a SAHM, but I will say that - coming from a stickler for schedules - during the summer, when you have more daylight... start putting him to bed alittle later. We are going to start putting Jax to bed at 8pm, instead of 7pm during the summer. Just because there is more to do and enjoy in the summer (grilling out takes longer, visiting the with neighbors etc). Don't be too hard on yourself when it comes to the schedule. In the fall when the evenings gets darker earlier again - B will start to get tired earlier and go back to a earlier bedtime :) It will give you more time with him to enjoy now :) Think about it!
I totally agree with April. Of course you want to spend all the time you can with that baby boy! Maybe you could try pushing his bedtime back a little-maybe even just 30 mins so you can enjoy the beautiful weather more with him??? Just a suggestion but I know you don't want to throw everything off though...
courtney- i work full-time as well and know what you are feeling. I too feel like I miss everything. I don't think it gets easier leaving pax. I just keep telling myself i work to make his life better. it would be diffcult for us to go to one person income. i have been letting pax stay up later so i can spend more time with him. so far so good. i want as much time with him as i can get. You are a wonderful mom and doing all you can for sweet little boston..we need some pictures of him:)
I know exactly what you mean. I would feel terrible too if my baby was having more fun where he was and didn't want to come home. So sad. But honestly be glad he enjoys his daycare. I hated Cooper's so much that we had to withdraw him. He hated it and was in a terrible mood every day.
