The first long weekend - can't it be longer?

Monday was a federal holiday.  I was a little nervous about being home with my son all day by myself.  Stupid, right?  It's not like I did not do it for a couple of months after my husband went back to work.  After a couple of weeks at work, though, I had not really been alone with him for quite some time and I was a little anxious about it.  He had changed so much since my first day back in the workforce and I was afraid my ideas of playtime and snuggling would seem "old news" to him.

The day was a totaly success.  I loved the day with my son.  Of course, there was a small downside... I did not want to go back to work!  I want every day to be a day of mom and son alone time.  It is a true treasure.  Before giving birth, long weekends were for sleeping in and maybe having a couple extra glasses of wine.  Now they are for waking early and heating up a few extra bottles.  I love how my world is redfined, one day - and one new milestone - at a time.
