why? Ahhhhh..... vacation.....sweet vacation. Prior to vacation I think I was about ready to pop. My head every day seemed overwhelmed. And tending to my child magnified the intensity with which I felt about things. Prior to vacation, if my husband went away on business and I was left with my son for 5 days, alone with no additional MDO break, I think I would have panicked or worried we would tear each other apart before daddy got home. However, after the buffer of having a vacation, daddy going away for a week, with no school or MDO, it has been a walk in the breeze, relatively.
It is a joyful and sweet time to bond with my child, to think of fun things we can do. To spend time with his friends and my friends on play dates. We have a blast playing in the pool. And in the pool is fun because it still requires I give him full attention. It has been a time for his long naps and then he wakes up and is so sweet and wants to actually cuddle up next to his mom.
The before of this is if this week had not been right after a vacation, I am not sure I would be at a rested place to just go with the flow with my child. But because I have returned from such an awesome vacation, it has made me have such a relaxed and light hearted approach to just loving and being with my son. Though I miss daddy for my own reasons, I know I am a capable mom and can handle anything this kid can dish. Lets see what I say after taking him on Friday to get three cavities filled.
As far as vacation goes, everyone should do it. The Europeans have it right. Vacation does a body good. It does a family good. It helps build so much trust and security with your children. It is almost like I can see the difference in my son from before vacation to now, after vacation. And lets just face it, vacation and not working is just darn right fun!!! And it is a time when all stresses and worries melt away. It is a time for husbands and wives to bond. It is a time for testing patience with each other to see how well you can travel through and airport and change planes and still be sweet and nice & civil with each other.
I am fond of vacation and I am definitely fond of no agenda's on vacation, I really like a vacation where I can sit and read a book and just hang out.
This just happens to be one photo that I liked from our vacation.
