I
recently took a total leap of faith and resigned from my job to stay
home with my son. It's something I had always wanted to do since my
daughter was born. When my children were infants I didn't really have a
choice, I had to have someone else help me to care for them, and in
order to pay that person I worked part-time. But now I am able to care
for Scott on my own.
I
am learning how to be a home-maker/stay-at-home mom. I'm not a cook or
a crafty mom, but we have a good time. We spend our days playing,
listening to worship music, eating, napping, doing chores, reading
books, etc. We keep busy and I am loving it.
Besides
going to pick up Kiana every day from pre-school, we don't get out much,
which so far hasn't bothered me. I'm a homebody. We've had friends
over for playdates or we go over to friend's for playdates. I just need
their assistance in getting Scott out of the car and into their house. I
am considering joining a mom's group at church and asking for
assistance in getting Scott out of the car and into the building. Kiana
and I get out more on our own, once my husband gets home, to the store
or to run errands. She’s so wonderful to shop with and helpful. I will park next to the cart return and she will get
out, get me a cart, and pull it right up to my door so I can hold onto it. She also puts the cart away for me. She helps get items off the shelf, and
unloads the cart. She loves going to
the
store with just mommy. Once Scott is older, and can follow directions
better, him and I will be able to get out more. He's already learning
to be a helper like his sister.
