The Joys of Staying at Home

I absolutely love staying at home with my daughter.  I am so grateful that it is something we were able to make happen.  I get to be able to say I witnessed all of her firsts and take her to do so many things.  I'm also lucky because I reconnected with a childhood friend who has a daughter a few months younger then Lexi who is staying home!  We have been able to go out and do some many things.  We are going to the zoo, preserve, library, shopping, you name it we do it on a regular basis! It makes a world of a difference to have someone to talk to who can relate to what you are going through.  There is a lot of laughing when the 4 of us ladies gets together!  We seriously have the cutest, sweetest, goofiest daughters.  Even on the days that are a lot more fussing and crying then giggling playing I am glad to be home.  I am however, also extremely happy to see my husband walk through that front door at the end of his work day.  2 is better then one!!  Things go so much more smoothly in the evenings once he gets home.  I love watching Lexi's face once she realizes who just walked in the door.  She lights up and gets her excited noises going and does her little one handed salute wave that she does so well.  Thank you Lew for working so hard and making it possible for me to stay home with her and not having to put her in some daycare with people we don't know! Thank you for coming home after a long days work and putting on a happy (well relatively happy) face and helping me deal with our notoriously night fussy baby girl!  We love you!!!
