How to work with a 2 yr old
I would hate to fool you, there is no real answer to this! I have a 9 year old little girl that for all intents and purposes, is perfect. Since she was 2, she has been quiet, polite and was very easy to keep occupied. I started working at home when she was born. Then, 6 years later, our little boy came. There aren't words to describe how different they are. Today, for example, we had to make a simple trip to the store for nighttime diapers. I have not been feeling well so my intention was to get in and get out. I had a list, stick to it and then go, that was the plan. No sooner do we walk in the door, the whining starts. Still not feeling well, I'm willing to give him just about anything to appease him. So, a can of black beans in one hand and kidney beans in the other seems to do it for the moment. Then, the phone rings. It's a new potential rep so I try to remain business like and carry on a conversation. The whining continues. Finally, the sweet gal on the other end of the line finally says, "would another time be better?" Thankfully, I said yes. The trip does not end there but rather goes on to include London pulling his pants down in the aisle and then me forgetting the one item I really had to get, diapers. My husband, a businessman himself would cringe at the thought of working under these circumstances. But to me, it's just a normal day in a work-at-home mom's life. Life will go on and tomorrow will be another day. Adventure might be a better word!
