Edmund Goes to School

Edmund in His Going to School Outfit
(he peed on it before the end of the day)


Greetings Edmund Fan Club. It has been quite awhile since I've had a chance to sit down and write. The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. Steven started his Ob-Gyn rotation last week and this week Edmund and I started school.

So far Edmund has been quite the wonderful pupil. He is a happy little guy. It is only his third day, but to this point he has yet to let out a full blown cry. I wish the other babies would follow his example. I am not jumping up and down over his easy going nature at school just yet, however. It could be that he is simply taking everything in right now to one day drop his bomb of fury. Seeing as he has always been an easy going baby, he probably will remain happy. Pray that he does! Unfortunately a happy baby in childcare is a catch-22. It means he is the child everyone loves, but is often ignored because he doesn't demand attention. I try my best to talk with him about everything that is going on while I play with and tend to other babies, so he knows he is not forgotten. I have heard working moms say that they treasure time with their children so much more than they would otherwise. Even though Edmund is with me at work I feel the same way about our time together. Our afternoons have become very special. Afternoons and evenings are now a time to cuddle. So I will bid you all farewell for the evening as I go lavish my son with love and kisses.
