I alluded to this a bit in a previous post, but this past week and a half with Mitch at home with us was truly a blessing. First of all, he is SUCH an amazing dad and I love watching him with Tyler. I remember being pregnant and telling friends that one of the things I was most excited for was to see Mitch as a dad, and I have not been disappointed...actually he has exceeded every expectation and hope. It does such wonderful things to my heart to be loved by him and also to watch him love our son. We settled into such nice routines this week, such as bringing Tyler into bed with us in the mornings to play, drinking coffee together, staying up late and watching movies by the light of the christmas tree, playing with Tyler and all his new toys together on the floor, and so many more wonderful things.
Today however Tyler and I got up alone...as soon as I picked him up out of his crib he immediately turned towards the door because he's now so used to hearing his daddy call his name from our room. But life is now back to "normal" and there is no fun morning family time. sigh. The tree came down today, Tyler is refusing to nap, I'm feeling the guilt of too eating too much Christmas baking, and life moves on. Today is melancholy, but tomorrow will be bright.
Tomorrow I get to expand my horizons and head off with no baby in the back seat to the city to start my new job. Mitch gets to have HIS morning time with Tyler and enjoy the small things that come with parenting at home all day. I'm so ready to jump into this new stage. Now. Off to pick up my yelling boy who, at 3pm, has still not napped today.
