I wanted to write this down so you know how much I love you and how thankful I am to have had these last 3 1/2 years to be at home with you working as a full time momma and wife. Being home with you... being able to watch you grow, seeing a lot of your "firsts," spending countless hours at the park watching you play, going on bike rides and walks, having picnics (at least 3 or 4 times per week), making your breakfast, lunches, and dinners to nourish your growing bodies, snuggling with you mid-day, taking you to school, running errands with you, washing your tiny clothes, organizing your toys, picking up after you, being there when you got a booboo to take care of you, doing countless crafts with you, the warm hugs and kisses from you…everything that comes with being a stay at home mommy…I will cherish for a lifetime. Although going through hard times over these past 3 years has been rough, I wouldn't change it for anything because I got to be with you! It certainly wasn't easy but everything that I mentioned above and so much more are the reasons it's all worth it.
I am very sad that I won't be able to stay at home with you during the week anymore but I want you to know it's for good reason and for you. You are getting bigger and are going to school so mommy needs to go back to work during the day to be able to make things better for our family. You will be loved no less and we completely trust your teachers at your school. This is why we have chosen to go a different route with your education. Not that we wouldn't trust someone at another school but we feel very comfortable with the education, the attention, the friendships and the quality of care you get at Great Oak. I am already looking forward to the time I get to spend with you on this new journey which is momma going back to work and both of you in school full time. If I could choose, I would stay home with you to be there for every little or big thing forever but I know I've got to open my wings and let you explore.
I will always be your mommy, I will just need a little more help from everyone to make our family rhythm flow peacefully. Help with our every chores will come in time from little hands and daddy's involvement too. It will be an adjustment as every time changes occur but we can do this as a family as long as we trust in God, stick together, have patience and above all LOVE one another.
Going forward, I see great things happening and I see them with you…my beautiful, amazing, wonderful family who I love to the stars, across the universe, to the moon and back a zillion times. Thank you for allowing me to be your mommy and for loving me so much!
Love,
Mommy
