My sister-in-law, Karen, told me about baby sign language! I checked it out and found that it's rather interesting and fun. Most sites that I have visited give a few basic signs for free and will either teach you the rest for a fee or sell you a book on it. I'm still considering if I should buy one as I'll be sending Matt to infant care next month (when I go back to work), I'm wondering if it will help him or if it'll work in the first place since he'll only be exposed to it during weekends and a few hours every night...
I feel sad that I have to place Matt in an infant care but we have no other choice as this is certainly not a good time for me to quit my job. We need the income *sigh* Wish I didn't have to go back to work, I really enjoyed bringing Sam up myself and charting his developments week by week, month by month. Just thinking about what I'll miss with Matt makes me very sad. What's worse than putting your baby in infant care? It's having to put your other son in after school care as well. Somehow, I feel like we are doing something really wrong here. How is it that we are not coping as well now as our parents did long ago? Support! Family support that is, sadly we have none of it now. My mom is in Malaysia, so one half of the family support is unavailable, and as for Kelv's mom, well, she's not really into looking after kids.. so no support from there.
