Going back to work after a great summer off with my babies is always kind of sad. I'm excited about a new school year, and glad to see all of my friends from work, but it's sad not to get to be with Cooper and Ella all day, every day. I know that I am blessed to have summers off with them. I'm not complaining about having a job. I am so lucky that Mom and Glenda keep the kids for us, but I can't help but be a little blue when it comes time to leave them every day and head off to work. And I'm not the only one who's having to adjust. Cooper loves to be with Mom and Glenda, but he can be a little sad sometimes too about me having to go to work. Here are some of the sweet (but heart wrenching) things he's said lately...
"I'll miss you when you're at work Mom, but I'll always hold you in my heart."
"I meant to tell you a long time ago, back when I was a baby, that I didn't want you to go to work. I wanted you to stay home with me."
"I miss all those days. Those days when you were able to be home with me all the time."
Then tonight when I was tucking him in, he said, "Mom, guess who I love? She's as pretty as can be, and the best mother in the whole wide world. It's you!" Then he said, "I love Daddy too. No matter how many boo boos he has, I will always love him because he's a great dad." (Chris had some cuts on his hands from something he did at work today, and Cooper had helped him put on a band aid right before bedtime.)
He is just the sweetest, most loving, most precious little boy in the world. I am so proud to be his mommy!
