What's the expression? You are only as happy as your saddest child? Something like that. It's a good thing I only have one child. I'm so weepy this morning. I brought L to school this morning- the second day in a row she clung to me and said she wanted to go home. Yesterday was so unusual and she seemed tired, so I did bring her home. Today it felt to me like she needed to weather this storm and prove to herself that she could make it on her own. I think (hope) I have cried more coming home than she has. I watched from a secret window and saw her teachers were taking good care of her and got her started on a little project. (Today they are going to be making snowmen out of crackers and cream cheese- did I mention that she is three). So I think I need to get started on my own cream cheese snowman. This helped. Thanks for listening.
My friend Michele's husband travels a lot for business. She says there is always a transition period when Nick gets back home. Her son is more clingy and cries and whines more. She also said that SHE needs to take care of herself during the transition period. Go make yourself some cream cheese snowdudes! You are a good mommy. xo
