...and now I am off to work again.
{Jack}Those are the dimples I will miss!
{Logan & Mommy}Those are the snuggles I will miss!
{Mommy & the boys}I will miss playing "chase" with you.
{Logan}And I will miss those "I'm not doing something naughty, mommy!" looks
{Logan}I will miss your "so big" arms & your giggles.
{Jack}I will miss singing & signing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" with you.
{Jack}I will miss feeding you, washing you & getting you down.
{Jack}I will miss your toesies.
{Logan}And I will miss your sweet blond heads.
{Logan}I will miss your "cheese" face & goofy teeth.
{Logan & Jack}I will miss your smirks as you throw your sipppy cups onto the floor & say, "Uh oh" like it was an accident.
{Logan}I will miss watching your tiny hands signing "more" & "all done".
{Jack}I will miss a million little things that all together add up to "you".
I will think of you every moment & wish I was home.
I will remember all the fantastic memories
we made this summer:
swim lessons
camping
playing at the park
the beach
eating cookies
blowing bubbles
reading stories
And I will be counting down until 3:30 when I get to drive back home to you. To take you in my arms again
& let my heart be whole.
I got teary when I was reading your post. Jack & Logan are so lucky to have you Shelly. You're a good mom! :)
ReplyDeleteI taught school before I became a SAHM, and when my first son was born, I finished out the school year. It was so unbearably difficult to leave him, so I know how you are feeling. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe boys were so lucky to have you to themselves this summer.
