I've been working on Monkey's quilt/blanket for about two weeks now. I guess it's not truly a memory quilt because it's made from his daddy's old dress shirts and not his clothes. I just wanted for him to have something handmade for Christmas, not that he'll even realize the difference considering he's only nine months old. I promise to post pictures as soon as I'm finished. I'm not promising a masterpiece but I hope that Monkey can appreciate it when he gets a little older. Maybe he'll even pass it down to his children. Hmmm....just a thought. :)
It's Official...
It's official! As of today, I am now a stay-at-home mommy. It was a tough decision to make, simply because I didn't know if I could teach my little monkey all that he needed to learn. I know that he needs the socialization with the other infants that were in his class. I questioned whether he would get bored being with mommy all day, everyday. There were so many questions tumbling around in my noggin. Some friends were encouraging while others stressed that he should continue in child-care. Luckily I have an incredibly supportive husband who has more confidence in me than I deserve, so here we are. The first day has been great. My sweet little Monkey woke up with a big smile on his face and it hasn't left yet. Maybe this is the beginning of a wonderful thing!
