Well, what can I say... things have gotten really crazy the past few months. Joe started a new job up at Dartmouth Hitchcock and no longer has Daddy Thursdays with Owen. In addition he's been working until 6:30 or 7 every night so Owen and I are fending for ourselves from 5 onward. We've slowly started to adapt, but I didn't realize how much I depended on Joe's help during those suppertime/pre-bed time hours. While I was making dinner Joe could play with Owen, while I bathed Owen, Joe would clean up. We'd both read stories with him and then Joe would put him to bed. Now we come home, I try to pop dinner in the oven quick and start the wood stove, we eat, throw dishes in the sink and do a bath if there's time. Luckily most night Joe is home in time to read books and put Owen to bed.
Since Joe went back to 5 days a week, we needed to look for daycare 2 days a week, after lots of stress and searching we found the perfect place, Froggy Lane! It's about 2 miles from the house, and it's a wonderful in home daycare led by Joan and her daughter Jessie. Owen absolutely loves it there, and has really developed some rad skills since going there, including biting (every kid in daycare) but that's another story for another time. For now I'm focusing on the positive, no munching friends, and I'm so grateful that he's safe and happy :)
