FANTASTIC plan! Sometimes if I'm having a rough day and realise I'm not spending enough one-on-one time with DD because I'm thinking about other stuff, I get in the bath with her. Forces me to really live in the moment and just enjoy the bath and splashing around.
Hey everyone. Thanks for your support, and the reminders not to be too hard on myself.
First week in, and things are great. I've managed to do most of the things on my list (Can't wait for swimming again, that was my fav). It's really not that hard to live in the moment, and what's more, everything is so much more enjoyable!! Most importantly, DS has been so much more lively and interactive, running around, singing songs, engaging me in play, etc. He seems to be back to his old happy-go-lucky self. I'm so relieved that I haven't scarred & emotionally stunted him for life, and that helping him be less withdrawn is as easy as remembering not to be withdrawn myself.
... That's just the most gorgeous news & i'm so glad for you that you are feeling so much better on the inside ... YOU are doing an amazing job as a Mumma !!!
Always feel proud that you made that step ... and hey, look at the FUN you are now having
