Thomas is fast approaching 3 years old. It's hard to believe! He's so grown up in so many ways...and such a little one in so many others.
We made a hard decision. I am returning to work full time outside of the home. It's been wonderful being at home with him these last few years, but contract work from home just isn't cutting it - financially or emotionally. So, it's back to work I go.
I will be joining a college prep independent school here in town. I will be a Middle School Counselor and Upper School Academic Coach. It's a very similar job to what I did before with a very different population of children. It's a new job for them - and so an exciting opportunity for me to help create this role. At the same time, I admit that I re-enter the "outside the house" workforce with some anxiety about leaving my little one. I think he will transition to it more easily than me!
For this school year we will leave Thomas in his current preschool. My new job has agreed to a flexible schedule for me so I can take him to school Tues, Wed and Thurs. We are interviewing nannies right now to be with Thomas the rest of the time.
Wish us luck!

Ooo Wow! Big stuff! Congrats on the new job. Extra good wishes on leaving Thomas, though. Having never done it myself, i can only imagine how hard it must be. But, you're strong, and he's amazing! (well actually you all are amazing!!)
I echo Carol's thoughts! When did you say you started? I read the blog yesterday, but this is the first I've had to respond - and I didn't re-read it.
We will be thinking about you all.
Also, loved the "Curb Appeal"!!! Have watched it a couple of times more.
Hi Leah. I start on October 1st. Hopefully we will get a nanny hired soon. The one we liked got a job offer closer to her house...drat :)
