Joy in Escaping

I know I started this blog to talk about all the joys of being with my toddler, but yesterday I had the opportunity to attend a conference in my former field of expertise.  A friend babysat my bundle of joy and I was able to leave the house for once and interact with other adults who did not want to discuss babies. It was wonderful. I returned to a child who was happily playing with her toddler friends, and I thought, even though I love being with my baby, today I will be joyful in the escape; and perhaps in returning home too.
