Job Title

I've been thinking about this whole stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) thing.  I really need to remember the reason I decided to quit my job in the first place.  It wasn't to deep clean my house all week.  Or to weed the yard.  It was to be with Louis.  To value my time with him before he is all grown up.  I'm sure that day will be here before I know it.

He's grown so much in 20 months!

I was doing a pretty good job of this the first week off but then I got side-tracked with cleaning, etc. and realized I wasn't really doing anything with Louis.  Yea, he was wondering around playing with his toys or following me but what was he gaining from this?  And what was I gaining?  I wasn't working with him on learning new things except when we read before bed each night.  I wasn't spending the quality time I missed out on with those previous working days.

So I'm making a new goal of really spending time with him each morning.  He sleeps most of the afternoon anyway (when I'm lucky) so I'll use that time to do my cleaning, meal planning, blogging, gardening, etc.  

Mom is in my new job title and aren't these mommy moments what life is all about once you have a baby?
