Since the Yaus were going to be out of town later that week for a week, they asked if we'd be interested in using their nanny during that time. So, we did. It was Mathis' first time being cared for someone other than me for an extended period. It was not an easy transition for him. Lots of crying but by day 5 he barely cried when I left and the nanny was able to put him down for nap without a single tear shed.
I took advantage of the time on of the days to go clothes shopping for myself. I even tried the clothes on in the dressing room (vs the usual "buy then try"). The clothes shopping was somewhat in anticipation of my going back to work.
The month before Hansel had been talking about quitting his job and trying some new ventures. Even though he had what seemed like a dream job (working from home with good pay), he still wasn't satisfied. So, we talked about my going back to work. We felt like the timing would be good for me and Mathis. He was at an age where he was, at times, hard for me to handle and after 3 years of being at home, I was ready to go back to work. So, even though we didn't want to make any changes until toward the end of August, I contacted my old company earlier in the month just to see if there was any opportunity there. If not, it could take a while to find something elsewhere. There was definitely opportunity, and they wanted me to come back sooner than later. That Friday I went to find out more details.
Also, on Friday, 6/18, Beck had his preschool graduation. In his case, just graduating from one class to the next. The kids had made their own graduation caps, sang a couple of songs, and received diplomas.
