Hard work

So I have started back again to work, and am trying to balance work, nursing, mothering, and preschool pick-up/drop-off. It's a task, I tell you. But a blessing that I have an occupation that is so flexible I can juggle all those things... sometimes simultaneously. Today, I had to take Levi with me to supervise my assistant. I nursed him while I watched her through the window! It was a little crazy, but he did great. I think I may have to do that again next week, since I start with another assistant so I have to be there for 2 hours straight. Caleb asks me where I am going, because I often talk about work in terms of "visits". So I told him I go to other kids' houses who can't talk very well. He sees me leaving with all our games, so I'm sure he wonders why I go play games with other kids instead of playing with him... It makes me sad, and I try to tell him that I would rather stay home with him. But a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. Today, he brought home a paper from preschool that had their activities on it. He told me they went to chapel, where they sang and heard a story and then went back to class. He made a paper that had his favorite things on it. Apparently, his favorite food is bread. Really? Cause I could save a lot of money that way!! Levi is learning to laugh and he loves when I pretend to eat his toes and blow strawberries on his belly. I looked carefully in his mouth tonight when he was screaming during his bath (water was getting chilly), and I just know I saw 2 tooth buds coming up. I'm not surprised since he has been knawing constantly on his fists and fingers lately. Joe is pretty excited because it's opening night of football and the Saints are playing.

Update: The "tooth buds" were just my imagination. We are currently at 8 months and STILL no teeth. Which actually is totally fine by me, even better if he doesn't have them until 1 yr old! And evidence of why Caleb has a hole worn in ALL of his jeans, only on the right side, which is his knee-scooting side. So now we only wear "holy" jeans to pre-school.
