Hard to leave
Monday I was getting ready to go play. Lisa and Oliver were sitting in the rocker near the front door. As I was getting my stuff ready, I looked up and Oliver was just sitting there smiling at me. I almost didn't make it out the door. It would have been fun to just stay there with them and play.
But I have a responsibility to the other people in the group to go. And so I went, but I'm beginning to understand why people with children disappear from the collective social life once they have children. Sometimes it is just so tough to leave.

The coming and going can be the BEST part, though! Ellie says "bye bye" and blows me a kiss every day when I leave her at home or at school. And every day when I come home, I get a great big "Da Da!" and a smile. Melts my heart.
I just get big smiles coming and going - a delight to come to, but a hard thing to leave.
