First Day

Today was my first day back at school and Parker's first day at a non-related babysitter. We are very fortunate to have found such a caring and kind babysitter who watches Parker in her home. Kim and her daughter Renee are great!
Travis and I of course would have much rather stayed home with the little guy, but are happy to have Kim on Mon.-Wed.

This morning when we went to drop him off, Travis handed Parker to me, and I handed him to Kim (after one more snuggle :) ) Parker just hung out like no big deal. And then he saw their dog "Buddy".

Parker instantly light up and gave some smiles and grins. "Don't worry mom and dad! Kim, Buddy and I are going to have fun today! See you after work!"

I think Parker, Kim and "Buddy" are going to be good friends! :)

Thank you to everyone who sent notes, messages, and good thoughts my way today. It was hard, but not unbearable. I have a really great class and Mary Ann did a fantastic job getting them prepared for my arrival as well as the room. I walked in today after 8 weeks being away and just picked up like I had never left. I don't think that usually happens with a Maternity Sub. Mrs. Henderson was a huge part of that as well. I don't know what I'd do with out her!

I was surprised today with a beautiful flower arrangement from Parker around 11AM! I'll post a picture in the morning. This tired mama needs to get some sleep because I have to do it all again tomorrow! Sigh!
