Oliver's favourite TV time

We are raising a total geek. Oliver loves Star Trek themes, and his favourite 3 minutes of TV in a day are the end theme for Star Trek TNG and the opening of Star Trek Voyager that comes right after TNG. He laughs and gets more excited for that then he does for anything on Treehouse.

Superbowl Cake

Today's project was a Superbowl Cake to send into my husband's work. I love making fun baked goods, and they are even better when they leave our house so I don't feel like I have to eat them all. Not too sure when I will make the time to do things like this when I go back to work. It really has been one of the benefits of having time off.

The second half day at the sitters was a success. The little guy had a great time playing and was excited to see me pick him up. He came crawling right for me as soon as he heard my voice. It was one of those moments that make me so glad to be a Mom. My morning without him had mixed results, it felt like I had accidentally left him somewhere as I am so used to having him with me. On the plus side I went used clothes shopping and got everything I will need with plenty of time before I go back to work. Next week we will be trying a whole day at the sitters, I'm hoping that goes as well as today has.

The journey back to work.....

So I am starting to get prepared to go back to work after maternity leave. I have decided to write about the whole process here; the good, the bad and the totally ugly. Tomorrow marks the second day that my little guy will be going to the babysitters for a half day to adjust to Mommy going back to work. More over for me to adjust to not being just his Mommy every day and spending my time just doing things for him. The first day was nerve wracking for me, and I suspect that tomorrow will be no different.
