Back to work

So today ends my first week back to work. It was an ok week, not great, not terrible, just ok. Monday was the hardest. Shawn took Avy to the sitter and I just about cried when he walked out the door. Someone else was going to care for my child ALL day. I didn't like it at all but I guess that's the reality of a two income family. Unless of course we want to foreclose and have our cars repossessed! ;-) Avy is only spending about 6 hours at the sitter's each day, which makes me feel alittle better. I just don't want her to be raised by someone else! And I'm hoping that most weeks she'll only be there for four days, thank goodness for a flexible schedule. There will of course be weeks when she will be there for more than 6 hours and for 5 days of the week but I'm hoping those days are far and few between. And next weeks she will only be there for 3 days because my mom is going to be here and will watch her on Monday and Thursday! YAY!

Avy seems to like the sitter, she is never upset when I pick her up and she eats well. She does however seem to be pretty tired. The lady watches one other little boy who is 2 and her own son who is 11 months. So the noise levels in that home are alittle higher than here! I think it's hard for her to nap, she'll get used to it though. She has been a little stinker when it comes to napping anyway, she will usually only nap 2-3 times per day for, at the most, 35 minutes. I long for the days when she napped for a solid 3 hours! Her napping, or lack of napping, has made for a crabby baby girl! I hope she goes back to napping somewhat longer but who knows!
