the 2nd born

I had an interesting revelation a couple of weeks ago. I'm not proud to admit this but it's just the way it happened. I changed my schedule to work 3.5 days/week instead of 5. Since I am working for free at this internship and paying for Leo to go to daycare, we decided to save the money in daycare expenses. Anyway, this leaves Leo and I with 1.5 days to hang out-just us. My revelation? I've never really hung out with just Leo. I mean, we have had the occasional outings where I knew he'd enjoy going, etc., but to just be us? It's always been Leo AND Lyra. He's never really had to play alone or be with just Mom! :) It was a strange feeling for both of us, I think, to figure out how to just BE together. I knew that extending my internship a bit would benefit us financially but I never saw THIS benefit coming. I am so happy to have Leo & Mom days every week. It's such a great reminder to slow down and not take my family for granted. I love my little man.
