on the edge of a happy precipice

Today is my last working day of 2009… seriously. Beginning Monday I am taking 7 weeks off to stay home with Cole and teach him about all of the manly things in the world… uh, I mean to bond with him . While this will be a vacation from my day job, I’m definitely not approaching this as a vacation overall. This is probably going to be the most important 7 weeks that I get to spend with my son and I’m going into it with eyes wide open and a list of things that I want to do with him:

• Photo-a-day posted to the blog
• Daily walks
• Visiting Mommy at work every day she’s not working from home
• Reading to him at least 4 times a week
• Working on tummy time
• Taking him out on miscellaneous shopping trips
• Try to establish a rhythm to his napping

I think this time is going to be magical and it’s going to go by in the blink of an eye so I need to soak in as much of him as I can. Look for the daily photos to begin on Monday.

Is this really the last day I’ll be working in 2009? Woo hoo!!!
