Being a stay at home mom

So I'm between jobs right now....my last day at my old job was Wednesday and I start my new job at WakeMed Monday. So my current occupation is stay-at-home mom, and I love it. My boy and I get to play all day, and when he's asleep I get to get things done that have been put off for forever. (like scrubbing the kitchen floor that was so dirty you could eat off it. no telling what all you'd find!) Today he entertained himself for the longest time opening and half-closing the doors to our bedroom and our front door. Watching him go from a newborn who's pretty much a blob that eats, pees, poops, cries, and occasionally sleeps to an increasingly independent almost-toddler that voices his wants and opinions very clearly continues to be an amazing process. I used to have to sit and entertain him; now he finds ways to entertain himself and on his own discovers how his toys work. To think that this human being grew from one cell to what he is now, wow. I don't see how you could NOT believe in God.

Today after he ate his oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, I took my hair out of its ponytail and used the telephone as a microphone and sang Tim McGraw to my son as he watched from his highchair. I love being able to make a fool out of myself in front of someone and as a result have them think I'm the coolest person alive. I shook my head back and forth to the beat of the song and he did the same and laughed at the top of his lungs. Moments like that are ones that I want to freeze for all eternity.
