Freedom...sweet freedom!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the freedom that comes with April 16th! I am a nut, who LOVES doing taxes, but this year was hard! My two little monkies were very vocal about missing mommy and hating daycare...which didn't make it less necessary for them to go, just harder. On the 13th, when the babysitter came, Eli asked, "mommy, where you going?" When I said to work, he made this terrible pouty face and said "NO!!! You leave me....lots....and lots(really he says 'yots') and lots!" Um...hmmmm....mommy knelt down and hugged him and we cried together! So, I've done a big fat NOTHING the last two days. We played, snuggled, watched a movie and rode bikes yesterday. And today, we went to the gymnastics center and lunch with my sister at McDonalds. Thank goodness for the thrill of laziness! I have some long days ahead of me in breaking some of Eli's new habits('stop talking to me mommy'...and other, even worse, things), but I love my job as a stay home mom. I've missed it more than I realized it....and the fact that my babies missed me so much must mean I'm not failing as much as it sometimes feels. That's what I'm reassuring myself with today anyways!

It is so good that they missed you! It is hard to leave them, they change so much in such a short time. I have been helping with some dance photos the past week and have left the boys, I hate it. It was nice the first few days, but I miss them so much and Abe is just growing way to fast.
Awwww! what a sweet post... I feel the exact same way! I hate leaving my girls too! Congrats on getting through it though.
