Yesterday I went to my classroom. I enjoyed being with my first graders. It reminded me that God called me to be a teacher and to love the children that really need it. I could tell that some of these kiddos really needed a word of praise, a high five, or a simple hug. I love that I can provide that to these kids! We had a lot of fun writing sweet letters to there current teacher who will be leaving on Dec. 18th. I was gone all day and my how it flew by! I forgot that when you teach there is no down time and your days go by so fast. I realized that this is a good thing! It is a good thing because, even though I thought of Max 1,237,999 times during the day, I felt like I was only gone for an hour. Praise God!
While I was at work, my precious Max was with his care taker. She is absolutely amazing. It is one on one care, which I love because that is what he is getting with his mommy. Max usually takes two, 2 hour naps so really I am only away 3 hours while he is awake. She sent me messages all day which was such a blessing to know what he was doing. She also sent me pictures so that I could see his beautiful face.
I obviously would rather not go to work and spend my time with Max. However, knowing that he is in such good hands gives me a peace in my heart about returning to work. The guilt about going back to work has left and I know I need to do what I can to take care of my son. I am a teacher for goodness sake! I have the best job ever! I work 7 1/2 hours a day, no weekends, and no summers! Also I have days off every month and fall break, Christmas break, and spring break. I only have to work 96 days until summer (not that I am counting).
While mommy was working this is what my sweet Max was doing...
Such a sweet sleeping baby boy!
