Time management is the biggest lesson i'm learning with a kid on board. Life is full of surprises and being a mom, you are never sure of ANYTHING you do with regards to your child. In short, we are always worried!! And they grow and learn new things everyday, so flexibility is the other key element. And well, regardless of what they or we do or don't do, they still grow. And how they grow depends a lot on the environment we provide for them.
Being a stay at home mom (by choice, of course), sometimes I do miss all the brain crunching at work and sometimes, I do feel I want to get back on job, but then, the more time I spend with my lil guy, the more involved I want to be with him and a part of his growth and learning process. Mother's are a child's first teacher and her lap is their nursery. No one understands a child better than their mom. It is an exhaustive job, no breaks, no vacation, no promotion. The only incentive being child's happiness, love and laughter....priceless. Oh yes, there will be crying, temper, etc. , well all a part of the package. All that said, they grow so fast, that one day they are the little bundle cuddled in your arms and a few days on, they run all around. Time sure flies....
