Vaughn had an exceptionally hard day at daycare today. Josie (her sitter) called often to keep me posted but she just cried, sat in the corner by herself reading books and crying or stood in the middle watching everyone play and sucking her thumb. let me tell you that I wanted to bust down the walls of my work and run out and get her. I couldnt get home fast enough. My heart was literally in pieces. its never fun or easy to be at work when she's at the sitter but it is nearly impossible to focus or sit in my seat when I know my sweet baby girl is sad or missing me. Josie said she would stand at the gate and look down the road crying for mommy. Makes me cry just typing this. We will see how she is tomorrow- i may take the day off if she has another difficult day. She may just be getting to that age where she has a hard time leaving us. she loves it at josies, but just not today. She told me tonight about a hundred times while caressing my face " I miss you mommy." she just wanted to snuggle tonight. She's precious. We've been singing "Jesus loves the little children." and we point to my cheeks when we say red, yellow is her hair, black is her baby doll and white is alfie. she loves it. i love that she loves it.

I have been virtual Christmas shopping and hoping to get started in a month or so....cant wait. i love the holidays coming up, Fall- Thanksgiving, halloween, Christmas. Vaughn's birthday- I lvoe them all.


Last night we celebrated my mom and sisters birthday- i miss us all getting together- there are always tons of laughs. The kiddos remind me of myself and my cousins my age. They just have a blast together and it makes me excited to see how the goofy group of 3 grows in the future....such a beautiful group of kids.
