It’s been a minute but what can I say!? The whole world has changed! I started tracking Selah’s weeks at daycare and stopped at what would have been week 11. So, if you see the dates and noticed the title, this is week 19 of the pandemic aka COVID-19. I can’t believe that COVID has been going on longer than Selah was in daycare! It has been the most complicated simultaneously incredible, amazingly difficult time EVER. Words can’t describe!
Balancing full-time mothering with teleworking is not easy. I think the hardest part is Selah’s age. At 22 months, she’s so full of energy and she needs just about every minute of my time. Moments like this (almost 3 am) when the whole house is quiet, I actually have time to reflect and think that the biggest worldwide disaster ever turned out to be my greatest blessing. I have a chance to be home with my baby and see her grow into a whole human. She has her own personality and everything. She also has a bit of a temper (working on it). She can identify her letters (see previous post), blow and catch bubbles, her vocabulary is growing daily, she uses the big girl potty (except #2 help!) and she loves singing and dancing! Her newest favorite thing is helping mommy cook (sometimes daddy) and clean. Oh, and she likes fingernail polish and she has learned to get out of going to bed to just say “I gotta go potty” or something “hurts.”
Mommy update: if you’ve been keeping up, I’m still studying for my psychology licensure exam. Like with most things these days, it got pushed back but I’m on the home stretch. I’m also learning a new skill that comes with a certificate and everything. I won’t ruin the surprise but will update you once that is complete. After my exam, I’m looking forward to some much needed rest…but then again I’m not so sure about that. ~ Selah
