Motherhood is a full time job!

I love my little boy but oh boy is bringing him up a full time job. He requires a hawks eye, guarding him from causing destruction to my home but mainly to himself.

I am sooo lucky to be able to stay home with him but I still see 4 students a week with 2 more asking for lessons. A love this time out with other non-babbling human beings. Sometimes I really can't understand how some of my mommy friends are employed full time as well as being amazing wives and mothers, but maybe they have the solution? Being able to go to the loo whenever you want in peace or drinking a cup of tea when you are thirsty seem like huge perks to going back to work.

While I write this I am trying to count the number of friends I have that are stay at home moms, not work at home moms of which I know plenty... Three! And all 3 of these will have to start contributing to the family budget as soon as they have finished burping, breastfeeding and potty training their babies.

Luckily I am fully aware that my main job, even though I don't get monetary pay, is to bring our son up to be all he can possibly be one day. And for this I am grateful.

Sleep Suggestions

I found this table (I love tables) on sleep suggestions. I read today, which i found interesting, that the maximum amount of awake time before bed time should be 3 hours. Anything more than that and your baby gets into a state of over tiredness and makes bed time a performance

A good read
