I'm impressed with just connecting with another mom, it's something I struggle with (non baby loss obvs). I feel your pain about not having childcare options, hence why I stay up with my child after working all night while Dadda works...<br />I'm glad the teacher had some positive feedback and cute things to say about B. It's great when other people recognize how awesome our kids are! ;)Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448908179398529689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-62830236225104915782015-05-07T22:53:47.926-05:002015-05-07T22:53:47.926-05:00I think you and the other mom came up with a brill...I think you and the other mom came up with a brilliant solution! It's true - it's not easy to find childcare when YOU are the childcare. Or your husband has to come home from work to be the childcare. ('Tis why we joined a babysitting coop in our suburb. It's been r-e-a-l-l-y nice for stuff like this.)<br />Honestly it's kind of nice when teachers don't tell you stuff you don't already know. No surprises is a good thing. Like that he's struggling with a relationship or skill or whatever…no one wants to hear that. I love that they told you stories about him and his play with other kids. Would love to see that Ben in action. (On Wednesday Cate's teacher told me "she's anxious about everything". Awesome.)<br />You still have Claire while Ben's at preschool, don't you? I laugh to hear you call that 'kid free' time, because, ha! I wonder if I would feel the same if we had a younger one. <br />Also, I get two days a week where I have 5-7.5 hours of actual kid-free time and it saves my freaking sanity, swear to god. That you actually cook, much less cook healthy meals, is amazing to me. That you use your 2.5 hours to grocery shop in order to support said cooking…oh man. When do you do anything to fill YOUR cup? Well, I guess you did just go to Napa. So there's that. Still, I count on those two days a week to run errands, plan bday parties, return crap, CLEAN, and recently just began adding in Me stuff like jogging with a friend, guitar lessons, and craniosacral therapy. And I STILL feel like an uninspired, ill prepared, freaking tired parent most of the time! <br />I think you're a fantastic mom. And I'm not just blowing sunshine and flowers, have thought as much for a long time. A mama to live up to and admire. <br />This may no longer even relate to your post, as I'm getting deliriously tired, but since I'm writing and I hardly ever find time/energy to comment, I'm just saying some of the stuff I've thought for months now. <br />Also, summer camps for 3 year olds? Never even thought of that. Just spent 20 minutes looking into options - how do I miss that stuff? Like the farm school Julie T has Bode enrolled in? Sometimes I feel like we live our life in a bubble. A bubble filled with endless dishes, crumby floor, princesses, dancing, pretend play and nursing. Seriously. <br />Okay. Off to bed before I further regret babbling on the internet. xoxoJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042635150884274413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-16451213506600836282015-05-07T22:18:09.475-05:002015-05-07T22:18:09.475-05:00You're such a teacher, talking bout parallel p...You're such a teacher, talking bout parallel play and all :) I'd totally swap,out watching kids with you if we lived close.
