Doing a happy dance..
I took Joey to daycare for a couple of hours this morning and when he noticed me leaving, he whimpered a teeny bit but apparently didn`t cry at all and then when I came to pick him up, he wasn`t even remotely interested in coming home with me!!! Something tells me he is having a little bit too much fun there!! LOL! Sad that I am that he so obviously doesn`t need me as much anymore, I am relieved to be able to take him to daycare without worrying about how he is going to cope. If things continue to be this successful, I will definitely consider taking on more work and possibly even goin full-time next year. Much as I love being with my son, I think it might be time to start broadening my horizons and working out once and for all what I want to do with my life!! ;-) I always figured I would have it sorted by now but I still haven`t worked out what I want to "be" when I "grow up". Sadly, my options in Kagoshima are very limited but I am pretty sure I will find my niche eventually, be it here or in another country!
People keep asking me if I am thinking of having another baby and when. Having another child is not possible for us at the moment for various reasons, partly financial and partly because I am not ready physically and emotionally to have another baby. Another reason is because I have always said I wanted to try and live somewhere other than Japan before I was 30 and if I get pregnant, that is not going to happen. It might happen at some point in the future but for now, I am not thinking about if/when we will have a sibling for Joey. When I tell people that I am not sure that I want to have another baby, I am told that I am selfish because J "needs" a sibling or he will be lonely. Maybe I am being selfish but for the time being, I think that isn`t necessarily a bad thing! ;-)
Sorry for the random babbling.. it is raining cats and dogs today which is making me thoughtful!

How wonderful that Joey is getting more comfortable!!!
I hate when people ask when the next baby is coming. And I have heard the selfish comment too...Pfft I was an only child and I am ok (I think!)
It is good to take the time to figure things out.
I guess the thing is that once everyone has a kid they think they have the right to instill their unsolicted "wisdom" into you.
SO, Midori, what you really need to do is this....
:) It'll all work out for you. Hang onto those dreams
