Almost Over...

Wow, has a year really almost over?!? I can't believe that we're already in mid September and I'm in the mist of preparing and planning Ethan's 1st Birthday party. It's hard to know what theme to go with or what gift to buy and loop bags... so many kids! Birthday's are a lot of work for little ones. I just keep telling myself, just for his 1st Birthday than the rest we can do small family gatherings but we'll see if it ends up being another big one next year :)
We have visited the Day Home he will be going to next month and am please to see that he will be surrounded with friendly kids. I'm worried that he won't be napping at her house though since he hates change. I'm also worried that he won't wean fast enough, but I guess by then, he'll have no choice but to take what he is given.
I've been up lately at night just thinking about going back to work and leaving him at the Day Home. I'm so incredibly sad about leaving him and being apart from him for so many hours of the day. I don't know if I will be able to take it. I miss him even when I'm just thinking about it. If only I asked for a 0.4FTE position instead. ha ha ha. That would be so nice... oh well, we'll see how it goes.
Well, time to start packing for our last trip before I head back to work. To see grandparents in Toronto.
