(Bilingual - en español)
There's no denying it's hard to work late because I miss our little girl so much, but there are some benefits - really!
You see, when I work late, my husband gets the opportunity to bond with her even more, and it's absolutely precious.
As parents, it's very important that our baby girl knows early on that she can count on us. Regardless of how hectic our days are, we want her to know we're still there for her. Some days she may not have both of us playing with her in the living room, showering her with kisses and giving her undivided attention, but she will always have at least one of us.
So when I work late, I know she's in the best hands she can be with her daddy, and I can already see a special bond between them.
Sometimes he'll take her to Costco or Harbor Freights (Paul's favorite stores). Other times, he'll take her to the park or just watch football with her at home. Last week, they went to buy groceries and then Vida spent the afternoon outside watching her dad smoke salmon, which by the way was delicious! I'm working on convincing him to do a video tutorial because he's a pro!

Regardless of how they spend their evenings when I'm at work, there's no doubt Vida enjoys every minute she gets with her dad - just look at that face!

Plus, I absolutely adore the photo updates I get from my husband when he's out and about with Vida.
Long days at work will never be easy but getting photos like these fill my heart with joy. How do you guys manage when you work late? I'd love to hear from fellow working moms OR dads!

No hay duda
que es muy difícil trabajar hasta tarde porque extraño demasiado a mi pequeña niña,
pero hay que ver siempre el lado positivo.
Cuando tengo
que trabajar hasta tarde debido a eventos o juntas, mi esposo tiene la
oportunidad de fortalecer aún más su relación con nuestra hija.
Como padres
es muy importante que Vida sepa desde temprana edad que siempre puede contar
con nosotros. Independientemente de lo ocupados
que estemos, queremos que sepa que aún estamos ahí para ella. Algunos días no podrá
tenernos a los dos presentes jugando con ella y dándole toda nuestra atención, pero
siempre tendrá al menos uno de nosotros.
Así que
cuando yo trabajo hasta tarde sé que está en las mejores manos posible con su
papa, y me alegra mucho ver como florece la relación entre ellos dos.
A veces,
mientras yo trabajo, la lleva a Costco o Harbor Freights (sus tiendas
favoritas). Otras veces, se pasan las
tardes en el parque o en casa viendo futbol americano. Por ejemplo, la semana pasada fueron a
comprar el mandado para la semana y luego pasaron la tarde afuera preparando salmón
a fuego lento.
No importa
como pasen el tiempo, no cabe duda que Vida disfruta de cada minuto que pasa
con su papa – ¡su carita lo dice todo!
Aparte, me
encanta las fotos que me manda mi esposo cuando se andan paseando.
Tal vez nunca
sea fácil trabajar días tan largos, pero me llena el corazón de alegría cada
vez que recibo fotos y veo que se la están pasando muy bien juntos.
