I'm a full time job!

Mommy made a really big decision yesterday.  She decided to stay home and devote her time to raising me seven (seven!) days a week instead of returning to the job she loves so much part time.  I feel like a pretty lucky ducky.

I was extra cranky all day just to make sure she knew what she was signing up for.  Now she can't say I didn't warn her!

This wasn't an easy decision for her for two major reasons.  1. She had a wonderful job with amazing co-workers that she considers friends and a boss that she respects so much and enjoys working for.  She worked hard while she was there but also had a lot of fun.  2. She had an excellent option for child care.  She could have gone back to work part time and felt confident that I was being cared for and loved on in a big way.

There was no real reason for her not to return to work part time except that she just kept feeling a tug that staying with me was what she was supposed to do.  She and daddy prayed a lot about the decision and even though it wasn't a no-brainer, she feels like she made the right decision for our family and especially for me.

I'm proud of my mommy and super happy that she'll be the one taking care of me full time.

This is my proud monkey face:
