Sam's Daycare

I always wondered...do I want to stay home when I'm a mom or do I want to go back to work? If you would have asked me before I had Sam I would have told you hands down... I wanted to stay home. Little did I know that the first 12 weeks of his life was pretty much the hardest and most exhausting experience I've ever been through. I don't think I quite knew what I was getting myself into. I was kind of happy when I went back to work because I was able to find some of my "old self" ...if that makes sense.

Realizing all of that, I often wonder if going back to work was the best decision for Sam. When I was growing up, my mom stayed home with us and I loved it every second of it. I loved being home and always being by my mom. Well, today I'm having one of those days where I feel pretty good about Sam having his daycare. We had a summer picnic there after work tonight and it was so much fun watching him play with his friends. He already makes them laugh non-stop. I feel as though he is becoming a little social bug. It makes me happy that he is happy with all his friends. And I feel like this is something that he would not get fully from being home with me everyday. I've attached some pictures. =)
