In recent weeks, I have been released from drudgery allowed to return to stay-at-home-with-my-amazing-son-wonderfullness. Oh, and pursue my dream of becoming a full-time photographer. I'm on my way! (Check me out at Jennifer Swanepoel Photography!)
Anyhoo. I have been home again for two weeks. And let me tell you something.
Staying home with a four-year-old is very different from staying at home with an infant.
Naps? Gone.
Quiet? Gone.
Control of the TV? Gone.
But I don't care. For three years I have been in the workforce, entrusting the day-to-day care of my son to other people. They were wonderful people, really, but they weren't family. I am so blessed to have found an incredible place for him to go when it was financially necessary for me to be bringing in second income. Now, however, things are starting to turn around and I can return to where my heart is.
At home.
