Heartbreaker

A couple of weeks ago while rocking my angel it occurred to me that I absolutely could not stand the idea of Holden being in a childcare environment where he would be lying in a crib all day. I want someone to hold him, rock him, and talk to him. It is already killing me that I cannot stay home with him. I cried and prayed and cried some more.

Rowdy put the word out and found someone. We met with her this evening. It went great! I think we found childcare and we aren’t compromising the kind of care we consider important for our son and our situation. She held him and rocked him while we chatted and Holden seemed thrilled and that made me so incredibly happy.

Holden was very pleasant through our meeting. When we got home he let loose for a second when his daddy extracted his paci for a picture. It turned out to be the cutest picture.

I'm so glad you found someone to take care of Holden! I wish I had been as lucky, but I really feel blessed with the day care we found...however, I'm still desperately searching for a way to be a stay at home mommy! It is soooo hard to leave her every day!
