Yesterday, I went back to work for the first time since May 20th. It felt weird to be back in my classroom and a definite change from being at home with Alexander all day. I don't officially go back until September 8th. Robert and I decided that he would stay home with Alexander during the day while I was at work and then he would go do his jobs in the afternoon after I got home. If he gets any new landscaping jobs, he said he would only accept jobs that he could do in one weekend. I think it is for the best for a few reasons - we would be saving money on daycare and he will be at home with one of us instead of a stranger.
I know that there are millions of kids who go to daycare every single day and they are fine, but I just feel more comfortable knowing that he is being taken care of by one of his parents. Plus, since he was premature, I think I am a little more protective of him than I would have been if he was born at term (maybe). Also, if he goes to daycare and gets sick, I would have to take off work and take him to the doctor and take care of him. With Robert being available during the day, I don't have to worry about using a day of sick leave. Maybe next year, I might reconsider sending him to daycare. We shall see.
