Back to Work

I started back to work last week. I just worked two days my first week back. The first day, John gave Thomas a pretty hard time, but the second day went much better. That may have had something to do with Rachel arriving halfway through the day, but I'm going to give the credit to Thomas' parenting skills. This week I worked two in the office and two from home, and the office days seemed to go well for Thomas. I'm trying to ramp up slowly and work from home when possible so that I can feed John myself.

I'm not sure how the upcoming week factors into the ramp-up-slowly plan. I'll be in Las Vegas for a conference from Tuesday-Friday. But John will be with me, so I suppose it is working my way back into business travel! Granny B is coming to meet us to enjoy some more John time while I'm in meetings.

We've had John's spot in daycare reserved since August. They take babies as early as six weeks, so he can start any day now. He won't go full time, especially now that Thomas is home, but it will be nice to have when he needs a break, and we'll need it when we're both back to work full time. We're actually anxious to get him started soon because he's in a class where several of the babies haven't been born yet (people are just paying to hold their coveted spot). We stopped by his classroom last week to drop off supplies and found that there are currently only 2 babies attending -- and there are three teachers in the classroom!
