Crack of dawn, a few hours sleep and a nice bed. Then comes the noise and I know it's time again. Eyes open, then close and open again. I roll out of bed and into the next room. The light on and my little man bright eyed- breaks into a smile…
Here is the youtube link for anyone who doesn't have quicktime. It is also a much better video quality.
Benji is at the cutest stage right now. Where ever I go in the room his eyes follow me. He smiles when prompted, sometimes, and is sleeping longer at night. This mom business is wonderful. I should have tried it years ago ;) While wonderful, I admit to feeling a little confused about my identity, my value as a part of the whole-- world that is. Before having Benji my accomplishments were more measurable and visible. Now my accomplishments are based on how many hours in a row Ben sleeps or if I change his diaper right before he messes in it or right after. I am at the beginning of a process of redefining myself from a professional business type woman to a mom in sweat pants. Actually, I imagine there is a world in the middle of the two "types of women." A happy medium-- a world devoted to family and also measurable self improvement. Join me in my journey-- I'm sure this is the beginning of many blogs to come on this topic.
Take Care,
Summer
