It's mornings like this morning that make me wish I didn't have to go to work- at least not every day or at least not when my boys want to play.
So this morning I dropped Holden off in his room- he was full of smiles and talking up a storm. He just loves his teachers and little friends.
I walked Henry to his room & he was the first tot there- which was unusual but I thought he would like his first pick of morning toys. He was a bit clingy but was excited when his teacher brought out the chalkboard and chalk. He reached for the chalk bucket and grabbed 2 pieces of chalk. He kept one and handed the other to me saying, "Mommy."- yes, he now calls me mommy- it makes my heart melt.
Anyways, I was already running late for work so I told him that I couldn't play but I love him and I hope he has an awesome day. He was totally fine with that and watched me leave his room as he was coloring away.
I barely made it to my car before bursting into tears. One- because my sweet baby boy just wanted to play with his mom & I had to go to work and two- he has grown into such an independent little boy and was just fine without me.
Some days are just a little hard being a working mom.

I know the feeling. I work at 7am five days a week and my husband drops Ian off every morning. Thurs I was home for an appt and saw Ian when I never see him in the mornings. He was close to tears when he realized I was staying home and Daddy was taking him to pre-school. He didn't cry but after saying good bye to them both I did. Ugh, mommy guilt.
those kinds of days must be tough. It is definitely bittersweet that our children are growing up, but just think about where that independence of his came from. You raised him so far to be that amazing little boy that he is today. I am really dreading the day that Kennedy asks me not to go when I drop her off somewhere, but hopefully I will be able to hold off the tears until I get in the car by myself as well. Hope your tomorrow is better!
