I hate to say it, but summer is officially over for me. Today is my last day of Summer Vacation. Tomorrow, Jaelyn begins Day Care and I begin another year of teaching. I truly have mixed emotions about the whole deal.
On one hand, I'm always excited to get back into routine and meet a new group of students. On the other hand, I have loved my summer home with Jaelyn, and hate to see it end. As I nursed Jaelyn to sleep tonight, I just let her sleep in my arms for a little while longer, trying to hold on to the summer and our time together. Once I laid her down in her crib, I started crying. I guess my desire to be with her is stronger than my desire to get back into the routine for school. Scott has offered to bring her to Day Care tomorrow to make the day a little easier for me. I haven't decided if that will make it easier or harder.
We are totally comfortable with our day care choice and believe that Jaelyn is going to be in good hands, I just wish those hands could be mine for a while longer.
On a happier note, I had Jaelyn sitting in her crib for a minute today as I brought her dirty clothes into Scott, who was sorting laundry. When I came back into her room, she had pulled herself onto her knees and was looking for me. :) It won't be long when she'll be able to get to this position without any help at all!

The love you are feeling for your daughter will only increase and your concerns will grow with each phase of growth. Praise God that we have a heavenly Father who knows it all and is there to take care of you and your family. Love, mom xo
