New Routine

First off today, I need to apologize for not posting last night. Dad fell asleep on the couch watching a hockey game and by the time I woke up, it was well into Tuesday and I was too tired to do a post.

Second, as was pointed out in the comments to the previous post, Sunday, June 1 was Caleb's two-month birthday and I forgot to acknowledge that. So I won't forget to acknowledge that today is Caleb's nine week birthday.

Anyway, yesterday, June 2, was the first day of summer office hours at school and it was Mom's first day to take Caleb to work without anyone to help her with Caleb. Mom said it went OK, but was more challenging than she had anticipated.

One mom at school has been very generous to Mom and given us lots of hand me down clothes. She also tave Mom a bouncy seat that Mom is going to keep in her office this summer. This particular bouncy seat sits much more upright than Caleb's bouncy seat at home which caused him to slump over. To fix the problem, Mom had to roll up a couple
of t-shirts to put on either side of him and prop him up.

Although this arrangement presents some challenges, we are grateful that the timing of Caleb's birth worked out in such a way that Mom can go back to work and keep Caleb with her at the same time so that we don't have to put him in daycare for extended periods of time at this crucial bonding period in his life. We are also grateful that Mom's job, especially in the summer, provides a flexible environment to allow her to keep Caleb. We are truly blessed in so many ways.
