Naps!
The one thing I am most thankful for today is NAPS!
When Mataya and I got to work today, I was unexpectedly pulled into a meeting. While in the meeting, Mataya snuggled into my chest and fell asleep. At 10:30 AM! Which meant for the next hour and a half, I was able to work without parenting!
Do NOT get me wrong. I know I am SO lucky to be able to bring Mataya to work with me. I am incredibly thankful for the time with her and the financial savings in day care expense. However, it is not without it's challenges to office with a child. I am thankful today that I was able to just work for a short time!
All too soon, she will be in school and I will be alone at work each day. I cherish her chatter and messy and coloring and the frequent breaks for potty and snacks! I will miss her like crazy when our officing days are over. But, just for today, her snuggled up and softly snoring on a in her daddy's office was a sweet surprise.
