Baby Business is Back!

After having a Christmas and New Year's break from our weekly Baby Business class at the Oak Lawn Library, Jack was absolutely elated that a new session started this morning! After all, when you are 16 months old, singing songs, reading books, and making seasonal crafts is at the top of any baby's fun list! Being Jack's Mommy, I would imagine that it is just as fun for him as it is for me to attend with him. I just so enjoy watching him grow up. He is so curious and absolutely darling when he experiences something new and/or exciting. I feel very fortunate that I am able to work, but ALSO have the perks that stay at home moms expereince. I would truly be heartbroken if I were not able to attend so many classes and activites with my Little Man. Working while raising a family is difficult....there is no doubt about that. I often say that working from home is the best AND worst of both worlds. It is the"best" because even though I am working, I have the flexibility where I can still be the one to attend ALL of the activities we do together (such as, but not limited to Baby Business) as well as put him down for his daily nap everyday. It is the little things like that which are important to me. Conversely, working from home is the "worst" of both world's because it is extremely difficult to ignore the baby distractions just because the door to the office is closed. So moral of the story......like anything in life, there is the "give and take" aspect....."the grass often appears greener on the other side of the street." But for me, this works....and I am one happy momma!

All that said, this morning at Baby Business class, I was able to experience the "best" part of my working from home set-up......and that is time with my Little Guy! Jack and I had a blast this morning. We can't wait until next Friday!
