Prior to me going back to work Ella kept refusing to take a bottle. Normally, that would not have mattered because she is a breastfed baby but I was trying to prepare her for when I returned to work. Here's Ella with our first successful bottle after a week or two of refusing one. I had to trick her with playing with the bottle and then her pacifier. We went back and forth until finally we got it!
I went back to work last week and it was the hardest thing ever. I am so blessed to be able to have my mom and Jimmy's mom watch Ella while I am at work. Since they are here I never worry but I sure do miss her like crazy! It is getting easier with each day (thanks to my wonderful group of students who are just the best and Ella's awesome grandma's!) but when I get home I never want to let her go! She is changing so fast and does new things it seems like every day and I don't want to miss anything, not a single moment. Luckily, teachers get a summer break so we are looking forward to spending that time together.
