Leaving The Bean At Home, Again...

I have to admit something to the interwebs. Once again, we've left the bean with my folks for the weekend.

Again.

I had actually kind of planned on just ommitting this small detail. Maybe inserting an old picture of her on the road (How would you know really?). I'm devious that way.

Because I really didn't want to leave her. And we had planned on bringing her out here, but plans changed very last minute and it didn't really make sense and she's teething hardcore and has a bit of a cold anyway...

And I was, I'll admit it, embarrassed. Or maybe that's not true...ashamed in a bad parent kind of way? I mean, it was just too weeks ago that we left her at home...that's so soon. What kind of mother...

And to add to everything, I didn't really want to talk about it again. About that middle place. The place that is thankful for 3 consecutive full nights sleep, but also bummed about the lack of baby goodness around.

It's so broken record-ish.

I know she's happy. I mean, just look at this snap my folks sent.




But still...

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

I know this sounds really cliche, but "it takes a village"--really, it does. She is so lucky to have grandparents who are ready, willing and able to take care of her. I really believe our children can only benefit from that kind of loving community. She's a lucky little bean!

I saw that little bean transform into a jumping one when her grandparents came in. Oh you are a very, very good and brave and unselfish mommy.
