I am looking forward to spending the weekend with my little man. I had intended to have some grownup time and go to a parade, but since there is a 60% chance of rain throughout the day, my time would be better spent doing laundry and snuggling with my baby boy. *sigh* =) I really need to do some spring cleaning and just get rid of some CRAP we have around the house. And it seems like the house is never clean- last night I swiffered the kitchen floor twice and then mopped and I swear it looked just as bad as it did before. So yep, I am probably staying home this weekend.
I have tons of pictures on my camera to upload on here over the weekend. I don't have my cell phone with me today (tragic, I know!!) so I can't even post the pics of Rickybear's busy day yesterday. While I was still on maternity leave, I brought my 5 week old baby to the library for the lapsit story time. It was so cute. The other babies there were like 6 months to a year old, but I swear my baby had fun too. Oh, and in the 20 minutes that it lasted he went potty twice... loudly. LOL. After that, I went back to work and the library discontinued lapsit story time for the rest of the summer due to other programs. Well, they started it back up after school started, but I could never bring him because I work during the day and can't bring my baby to the one library in town that does it on Thursdays at 10:30a. Not everyone is a SAHM! Why can't they do these on Saturdays too?? Some libraries also do evening and pajama story times, but the minimum age limit is 3. *big pouty face*
My mom decided to take the baby to story time for me yesterday. He ended up being the only baby there, so he got a lot of attention. Hopefully I can post the pics tomorrow. I just love the whole idea- the hand games, the songs, and the books- so great! And in 2 years, I can take him myself. He did meet two other babies while there who he was able to interact with (a 3 yr old girl and a 1 yr old boy). They had to leave this week, but will come to story time next week. He needs all the interaction he can get with other kids since he doesn't attend daycare. After that, he and Nana went to the park to swing. I miss doing these things with him for myself, but we have plenty of mommy-baby time, and I am always sent a lot of pictures so it's *almost* like I am there.
I love that little boy...

I hate that 99% of all momma/baby activities are designed around the SAHM. There needs to be a revolution of sorts!
ReplyDeleteDid you ask at your local library? We don't have Saturday storytimes here at my library (I'm a children's librarian) because no one ever comes! If you need storytime songs/games/etc ideas, let me know! And I joined a mom's group through my church that has activities for working moms and SAHM - it's nice to be able to do playgroup and such even though I'm working.
