Thank goodness the weekend is here.

For the most part Sam is a wonderful baby and I cannot complain. Even when I have to get up with him in the middle of the night, he is usually not up for more than a half an hour. Just enough time to feed and change him and put him back in his crib. When weekends do get here I look forward to being able to sleep in with Sam or at least not have to jump up and leave him first thing in the morning. That is the hardest part of being a working mom.

I don't like to have to leave and not get to spend time with him in the mornings. Mornings tend to be the best time for him. He generally wakes up in a good mood and that is the time to see him smile the most. He will look up at me with those big eyes and just give me a full open mouth smile and it is the best thing in the world. But when I have to leave first thing, I miss that. Hopefully soon he will start smiling more at other times of the day.

Next week is our spring break and I am going to savor my mornings in bed with him. I go and get him out of his crib, bring him to our room and we watch tv. right now we watch cooking or baby shows, but here soon we will start to watch Sesame Street and the likes.....right now he watches what momma does.
