So after all of the craziness of our wedding weekend and our honeymoon, I'm finally back! We had some issues getting home from our AMAZING honeymoon in the Dominican Republic because of the snow in New Jersey, and I was starting to get a little distraught as I just wanted to get home to Baby Bean!
Monday night we finally got home just in enough time to take Baby Bean trick-or-treating. I'm sure glad that I was able to get home for this. My Husband was able to be with her for the first time on Halloween, so this was a special day! When we first walked in the door she was so excited to see Mommy and Daddy, but the novelty quickly wore off as more and more trick-or-treaters came to the door. She was greeting the children by their costumes. Kid dressed as Thomas the train comes to the door, she states "Hi Thomas!!" Like she has been waiting her whole life to meet him. She was way to cute for her own good. She was Minnie Mouse for Halloween and loved it. I will have to add a photo when I get them on here.
Watching her that night made me realize how important these little moments are to me. As a working mother I feel like sometimes I am just running in and out of her life. I know that on the weekends I get to spend time with her, but sometimes that is not enough for either of us. I love these moments when she is on a pure high from life, when she is discovering something for the first time. I love to just stand there and take it all in, watch her learn something new. To fully appreciate all of those moments, those are the moments that help me get through the days that I feel like a bad mom for not being with her every day. There is nothing wrong with being a working mother, I know a lot of people who do it, I do it, but there are day's that I feel like she needs more mommy time.
She has an amazing personality and a she is the smartest little thing, and I count my blessings everyday that she is so lucky to have the babysitter that she has who is teaching her so very much, and that she has my parents close and my Husband's parents close. Those people can help me to raise who into the person that I want her to be. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and until now I never truly realized how true that statement is. I don't know what I would do without those people in my life.
