Dear Cade,You turned three months old last week. We celebrated by hanging out at home while you were sick. But that is OK, it was nice to take some time out and spend it at home. Speaking of spending time at home, this month I started back to work and you started daycare. Our 10 weeks of home time came to an end. Talk about a mix of emotions. I was excited to get back to work, but sad to have to leave you with someone else in the day time. I find myself still struggling with the decision - I guess it is the eternal problem of the working mom, oh the guilt. I did have a break through last week. I feel guilty because I can't stay home with you and that I didn't try harder to be with you in the day - but seeing you last week at daycare I realized that these women can do a lot for you and your development and learning that I can not. I miss you in the day, but I am happy knowing you are with people who care about you.
Not to brag or anything (because I really don't have anything to do with it) but they love you at daycare. It seems like everyday there is someone telling me how much they love to sub in your room at lunch, or how they love it when I bring him in early enough for them to watch before his teacher gets in. On Friday I walked in to see someone who was happy to finally have her time with you for the day. Pretty much the same way when we pick you up from Sunday school.
You are growing and changing all the time. You have learned what your hands are and what you can do with them, you are always smiling and talking, and you are mostly sleeping through the night (or as close to it as possible). My favorite new thing you do is your bubble blowing. While you concentrate on things you start blowing bubbles. Cade, we love you very much - and look forward to each new day. We never know how you are going to amaze us every morning when we wake up.
Love Dad and Mom
