Can I just say that I now LOVE my new job. I definitely went through a period where I was very skeptical and unsure whether this new job was going to be better or not. Even when I first started, I was still nervous. I think I just hated the fact that I was moving from a place that was familiar and I knew all the clients and people to a brand new experience. Well I'm finally starting to get comfortable and as that gets better, I'm loving my new job more and more.
Last night, it iced pretty bad and our short experience on the way home last night showed me that. So this morning Noah's daycare emailed me (I love that) and school wasn't starting until 10am. Yeah for going back to sleep. So then I took him up there at 10 and was at work by 10:30am. Did they care? Not at all. So now I worked through lunch which is easy since I have my own office and I will be leaving at 5:30pm. Tomorrow I'll work through lunch to make up the additional hour I lost today. Again, they don't care at all. I'm still working through the guilt thing. At BKD, I always felt guilty working 7:30-4:30. Even though I was getting my hours in, everyone else always looked at me like I was cutting out early or something. Here, it seems like the normal time to leave is 3 or 4pm. Although when I'm leaving at 4, I still feel somewhat guilty but I think that will improve gradually.
Noah was in a Christmas play last night for his daycare. I absolutely love Noah's daycare. His teachers are so nice and they just love Noah. Did they have to put on a Christmas play? No, but they just go above and beyond and I just love that he gets the opportunity to go there and the fact that they are Christian. In fact, the more he goes to daycare here and is involved in a Christian school, the more I wonder if we should be seriously considering a Lutheran elementary school rather than public school.
Noah started walking with our hands the other day. He wants to go more sideways than forward (probably because he's so used to cruising along the furniture), but he's figuring it out. When I pull him up, he just gets this big grin on his face and giggles and takes off. I can barely keep up.
I have also made the decision that we are going to start weaning him off bottles next week. We are going to choose one of his sippy cups and start by taking away his morning bottle and putting the breastmilk in a sippy cup. Hopefully it goes well but I'm putting a lot of faith into the daycare to do this with me and I hope they don't end up hating me or something. I think he'll take a few days to get used to it and then he'll be ok, but I'll post again next week to update.
