Well, I have survived day 2 of Landen going to daycare!! Sunday night I had a 15 minute cry and Monday morning a short sob.....but it is getting easier. Isaac went with me to get Landen settled into his new classroom on Monday morning. I'm so thankful for such an amazing husband. He has definitely held my hand and lead me through this tough transition. As we left his classroom, there was a brief moment where Landen looked at us with the "uh, where are y'all going" look...but it quickly passed. Here are a few pics of his 1st day at school.
In my classroom...bright and early at 7:00
Just checking it out...
At home, after my 1st day of school...
Only a 20 minute nap today...and still happy!
After much prayer, I am slowly rejecting the idea that I am not a failure for being a working mom. Oh, the lies I have believed and the burden that has made my heart heavy!
And for those of you looking for reading material, I found this book....The Myth of the Perfect Mother by Carla Barnhill. It has been interesting. The author addresses where some of the myths came from, a look at the real life of stay-at-home moms and working moms and also depression. She asks some hard questions...such as "What is the ideal picture that you are trying to live up to?" If nothing else, it has been thought provoking.
