This month was month full of changes. Little Canito is turning 10 months and again – time is flying incredibly fast ☺️ I have started to work again and that was the biggest change for me. So I am getting familiar with new role “working mum”. I have been back at work almost for a month. Working 4 – day week, so I can have slightly longer weekend and stay with him a bit more. However, it is still a bit difficult for me… I mean, at work everything goes smoothly, it is fine to be distracted and I am really busy, so I do not have time to think much. Which is always good. But then, on my way home while taking the train, my brain is spinning. Our little monkey has great time with our aupair, he is happy. Do not get me wrong, I am happy as well and relieved that he is not struggling without me anymore, but at the same time I am so sad and emotional and think: “What I am doing at work? He is still so little. I am missing all his great steps and achievements. Am I going to be stranger for him if he is more with our aupair than me?” Many silly questions have appeared in my head. And this is probably the most difficult thing for me. To accept, that I am not around and see all his “growing” steps, that someone else who does not care that much about it as me, sees that.
Not only, that I am now “working mum”, but we reached another big changes – little Canito has hit his crawling milestone and he is just everywhere. I enjoy it so much… ❤️It is amazing to see him exploring the world. Not only we have reached crawling milestone, he knows how to sit and just yesterday he figured out that he has legs and he can be standing on them, holding couch and trying to reach daddy’s X-Box controller as his toys are simply boring 🙈😂
Other new experience, however less happy, happened during this month. Our little monkey got sick. Suddenly, high fevers appeared and we did not know why. No caught, no runny nose, simply no signs of being sick, just did not want to eat or drink. At the end we ended up in GP, being checked and left with recommendation to give him Nurofen, however it did not work and his fevers continued. And nightmare probably for all parents, we ended up in A&E for couple of hours and did not know what to do with his fever… As happy end, we left with antibiotics and ear infection. His first time being sick ☺️ and hopefully well recovered. He is eating again well now and even more than before, as he is so active. I have added new tastes and texture to his daily menus (I really love cook for him), so have a look ☺️
