Running a guesthouse, becoming a parent.
It has been almost two years since our child was born. I once studied to become a nursery teacher, but life with my own child is a different, continuous kind of learning.
Our child can do more every day and lately even helps clean the guesthouse while playing. In days where parenting and guesthouse work mix together, we get to see little steps of growth.
Until now we have looked after our child ourselves, using local play spaces as a base. We are starting to think about nursery, but places are limited, and we worry whether we will get in this round.
Time running the guesthouse, and time as parents. How the two overlap may slowly change. With both excitement and worry, we are thinking about our family's next step.
