Adventures in Babysitting


Well, I'm back at work. My maternity leave is over. I thought about extending it, was certain I wanted to wait a few more months, but my office is really busy and wanted me back. Which is a very good thing.
I'm back in the office three days a week. It's a great schedule. I actually love my job and find it low stress, so it has been easy to slip back into the daily grind. The best part about it is Lucie's new babysitter: my mom!
My mom retired this year so she could babysit Lucie. Isn't that awesome! We couldn't ask for a better situation.
So far, my mom has mastered at least two of the three strollers and works the car seat like a pro! She and Lucie go on daily walks, mostly around the cemetery. It sounds creepy, but actually it is a great hill work out and quite pretty.
Lucie is very happy with the situation. I wish I could say she really missed me on my first day away from her, but I think she had too much fun with Grandma to remember I wasn't there!
