My first day as a stay-at-home mom

I had grand plans - plans to head to the park, thumb through "touch and feel" books at the library, and maybe if time allowed, some simple grocery shopping. None of that happened. Instead we spent most of the day just playing - on the bed, in her playroom, and what used to be our couch. I'm amazed at how I spent an entire hour watching her amuse herself, wave "Hi" to herself in the mirror, and go from her well-practiced crawling stance (still no crawling) to sitting position. It was fun.

And I still harbour great hopes for accomplishing some of the stuff on my stay-at-home mom to-do list: we're hitting the park on Wednesday; there's story time at the Cambrian library on Thursday, and if I wanted to, there's a mommy's group that meets for stroller walks on Friday. My schedule could be more packed than ever.

I know it's just been 24 hours but if this is how it's going to be (minus the bedtime drama!), this could be the best decision I've ever made in my life. I'm loving watching my precious one grow up and rediscovering every minute why she's so special.

Bedtime Drama Update: It's getting worse every day. She's protesting a lot louder and harder. She wails, flails her arms and legs, and won't go to bed without putting up a good fight. Pray for lots of patience, wisdom, and for Kayla to learn to speak real fast so we know what's bugging her! :)
