Do I look happy?Do I look calm?
Do I look a little bit silly (with my hair flying out)?
This is the week that I am "supposed" to be going back to work. I mean, my official one year maternity leave is over. I am so happy with our decision to have me stay home a bit longer (until September). I am happy to spend this extra bit of time with my boys. I know it will be worth it.
Which is probably why I feel so calm lately. Just a sense of peacefulness inside. I think I know deep down that I am doing the right thing for our family at this time. I feel calm and confident.
And when you spend so much time with two little guys under the age of 3, you have to be just a little bit silly. I confess to dancing around the kitchen while making dinner, to putting a sock on top of my head while eating and to changing the words of songs just to get a little laugh from my "audience".
Can you tell all this from looking at my photo?
I am happy.
I am calm.
I am silly too.
