This week should be interesting as both of us will be thrown out of our comfort zones. John is taking a week off to play "stay-at-home-dad" while I jet-set off to Shanghai by myself for a "business trip". We're currently investigating a possible expat assignment in Shanghai and need to do a look-see trip to find out what we think of potentially living there for a few years. Of course, we'd prefer to go as a family, but since Leah is not technically an American citizen until her adoption is finalized and, additionally, can't travel out of the country until she has a U.S. passport, we have to go separately. We also don't feel we can leave her with someone for a whole week, as she hasn't even been cared for by a babysitter yet.
So wish us both luck! We're going to need it.

Good luck! Sounds like it might be kinda nice to have a little trip just by yourself... of course I'm sure you'll miss your daughter like crazy too. But an opportunity to live abroad? Sounds pretty exciting!
ReplyDeleteBoy OH Boy! Good luck to you both! Mr. Mom isn't easy, but spending that much time away from your little one wears you down too. I hope Leah does well, too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Shanghai!
You are both amazing parents!!! You'll all do fine! No doubt Mr. Mom will have lots of stories to share when you get back!
