On the days I go to work (Tuesday and Wednesdays) I try my best to settle Nora before I leave. Luke is older and more independent, and beside, he is more attached to "dad" (my husband) than I. There is nothing worse for a mom or parent than to leave the kids crying on the way to work; I would rather she not are that I left than to see her crying for me. Reminds me of how I use to do daycare before I had kids and I would shush the parents out the door and totally not fully understand why they had such a hard time leaving. Now I know. And it's not like I am leaving them in daycare even....they stay at home with dad. My husband is wonderful at watching them, I never have to worry at all.....so it's just me having an illogically hard time departing.
After nursing her I laid her on her couch and she was very quiet. Here is her picture. I had to take it for she did not move for a long time.
Also, on days I go to work I try my best to do something creative with the kids when I get home. Luke had come up with this idea of making a birthday cake for our parrot, Nugget. I agreed and we decided we would make an ice cream cake. We make a box of brownies, cut them up, defrosted 1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream and mixed the two into a cake-shapped bowl. When I got back from work, we all had a slice. This is a picture of Nora taking control and drinking the last few drops of melted ice cream. Both of them had a blast!
