The ridiculous part is that it's not even a "big" job. I'll be teaching 3 yr olds at Mother's Day Out at our church. Both of my babies will be within arm's reach. I can even go down and nurse Eli, which is by far the greatest blessing. Believe me, I know I'm lucky. As far as jobs go, I've got it pretty good. I'm just not excited that someone else will be taking care of Eli all day. I am worried about all the silly things like "Will he sleep? Will they give him adequate tummy time? Will they...???" The questions are endless. I'm less worried about Eva, because she will be right next door to me and she could not be more excited about going to "school". She will pretty much have the time of her life. She loves having constant activities to keep her busy and active.
But, all of that aside, I do think that this is a great job for me. I get to use some of my developmental background in teaching. I get to use my creative side in making bulletin boards and planning lessons and stuff. When I think of that aspect of things, I do get a little excited. I think the Lord knew me well enough to know that if I was going to have to work, this would be the best case scenario for now.
As of Tuesday, you can find me buried under 12 3 yr olds! You'll know what happened if you never hear from me again. :)

The thought of change is never fun, but sometime change is just what God needs us to do to be in his will. I will pray that it goes smoothly and that Eli will adjust beautifully!
i'm so happy for you that even though there is still a need to work, if there must be a job, you have the perfect one sounds like...as you said. that's so awesome. God saved it just for you i think. so, as you know, He will work out the details...tummy time and all.
Congrats! Eli will be just fine and they may even think of doing fun and entertaining things with him that you might not necessarily do. So change will be good for all. I just know it.
