As I have said before, being a stay-at-home mom was not always easy... but I have enjoyed spending so much time with my baby! Now I am returning to the working world, though not getting paid (internship). The date is getting closer and closer and I was getting sadder and sadder. Last week I was thinking about the excitement of being around more people and more adults again... but lately I'm realizing I won't be around my baby boy all day. After being sad for a couple days I realized I had to take a different outlook.
Just because I'm going to work doesn't mean he won't be my baby anymore. And once he turns 5, even if I did stay at home, he would be away at school most of the day. And I am going into a career that will allow me to be around my children when they're out of school... because I will be out of school also!
I am excited to start my student teaching and know that it will best prepare me for my job. I look forward to meeting the children I will be encouraging to love learning. There is always at least one child that touches my heart and leaves a lasting memory. My heart still aches for the little boy who found out his dad will be in prison for 2 more years... and the boy with the big heart whose activity level was too big for the classroom... and the little girl who was smart but was hanging out with a crowd that I am afraid will eventually bring her down.
I thought children were amazing before I had one... and now I am that much more in awe of them.
