The countdown to one year

by chuckofish

Katie turned eleven months old on Monday! This feels significantly closer to one year than ten months did. It certainly feels like a countdown is beginning, doubly so because Katie will start daycare just after her first birthday. I think I am feeling deeply stressed and subconsciously sad about this fact.

I mean, I know I am. Lately, I have literally dreamt at night about how cute she is. 12 hours a day is not enough time to marvel in the cuteness!!

At the same time, if I have to have a job, I guess will be happy to have a normal workday back. And I think Katie will do well to have a play setting that is not doubling as her parents’ offices.

“Oh I’m sorry, was my cup-banging disturbing your Zoom call? Try muting yourself.”
“Mom’s talking about her boss again.”

But that is enough work talk. We will get through these last few weeks of incessant multi-tasking — and I’m sure when it’s over, we will look back on it fondly!
