Giving Thanks #2: The ability to be a SAHM

I worked full time for about 2 years of Katelyn's life. After giving birth with her I was fortunate enough to stay home for just over two months with her and then again this past March, I was able to begin being a full time stay at home mom (SAHM). It's great knowing that we don't have to get up every morning and rush out the door. We can have pajama days a couple of times a week and it doesn't make a difference. Play dough, coloring, dancing, and playing house are on our daily agenda. Teaching Katelyn to speak and sign is something else I have the luxury of being patient with while we're at home together. Each day Katelyn amazes me with the things she has learned just watching me do chores around the house. I truly believe this is making her a happier girl. The confusion of being Deaf at day care was too much for her. No one is at fault for it, but it was an environment that became overwhelming as she grew older. Every day I feel lucky that life took a turn and now we are able to be home together. 

With that being said, I wanted to share this video that I captured this AM. PJ + tutu sing alongs are a reason that I am grateful we can be home together. Moments like this are the best! (PS: after the video she had to clean up the gate and was not allowed to keep playing with it. It's not a toy in our house, she was just testing my limits with her)
