At night when Papa gets home, I get a bit of a break. Alexander LOVES his Papa so much, he doesn't need me.
It took a while, but I've learned to embrace the evening freedom... minus diaper changes & bedtime & other traumatic events.
But today. Today Alexander & I ventured to the Wild & Wonderful West Virginia MOPS
Oh, the disappointment. I mean, happiness. OK, what I mean is emotional confusion when we arrived at the meeting this morning.
The babes nimbly hopped down into the Vineyard classroom & never looked back. At first I kept returning to the half door to peek in at him, secretly hoping that he'd miss me.
I heard a baby cry during the meeting, ran to check, but it wasn't my cuteso. My lovely one was happily playing, making friends & smiling at the ladies, according to the teachers.
So, I'm happy. Proud. Maybe a little "my baby's getting so big & doesn't need me." But mostly, I wanted to run to the car & call Papa & tell him how wonderfully our little man did @ daycare. meeting. When I signed up @ the Egg Hunt they offered child care, but I assured them that my little monkey was attached to my hip. A Mama's boy. Unable to cheerfully leave my side.

I just looked at the MOPS stuff online the other day! Were the other Mommies nice? The website I looked at made it sound like you had to pay $75 to join. I wasn't willing to pay that without knowing it was worth it!
Everyone was very nice; and there were even a few Toddler Time Mamas there. They said not to worry about joining officially this year, but I think membership is due in May for the next year. However, I thought they announced it was just $21? I'll have to ask, cause I dont spend $75 all in one place often! Have fun in PA this week!
