Play Time with Jen

Since I have started work, Emily gets to spend her evenings with aunt Jen and with uncle Rob when he is home. I feel so horrible leaving her, but it has been so nice to be back to work and making some money again. Any ways, I was worried about how Emmy would do after I went to work and how she would behave. When I got home from work last Friday night, Jen had left me a note saying how well Emmy was behaved and how much dinner she ate, etc. The next morning Jen said that when she went to put her to bed, Emily was very confused as to what was going on! Jen has only put Emmy to bed a few times for this and that was about 9 months ago. So this was out of the norm. Now that I have worked 3 nights since then, Emily is now in the new routine of things! Jen said that last night she actually let her give her a cheek to cheek hug...part of the OCD bedtime routine! I love being able to be home during the mornings and part of the afternoon with her. Working 2nd shift, I don't feel like I just get home to put her to bed...I get a lot of quality time with her still....especially since she doesn't really take naps anymore. Some parents have said that there children are just horrible once they quit taking naps, but it just came naturally for Emily. She isn't usually crabby at all, but by 8:00 pm...she is ready for bed and falls asleep rather quickly. During the summer, she would sleep in until 8:00-9:00 am...now that the kids are back in school, she hears Tina in the morning and gets up to see Tina.
Working is going MUCH better now that I am not so lost! Last Friday was so crazy and I was wondering what I had gotten myself into! Was so glad that I had the weekend off! Went back to work Monday and it was so much better. However...me having a weak stomach...I can only eat at lunch time so I won't have any food on my stomach when I have to go to work so I don't throw anything up! I thought changing Emily's diapers were bad...until I had to change my first depend last Friday! Let me tell ya, I will NEVER complain about one of Emily's diapers again...however I am still looking forward to her being potty trained!!!
