November 12, 2006

My big girl! You are getting so big. I am sometimes taken aback when I see you, you seem so tall now. I can barely find any pants to fit you. If they fit in the waist, they're too short, and the ones that are long enough, fall off your little butt. So I've had to safety pin most of them. You are doing many things for yourself now, going potty, getting dressed, feeding your fish. You can write all the letters of your name except S. You love to give snuggles too, which is Mama's favorite thing. Tuesday we're going to go have lunch with Dada a work, so you can see the presses "rollin". You always ask Dada if they're rollin.

Lately, you've been having a hard time with me going to work. Everyday you ask, "Do you have to go to work today Mama?" If I say No, I get a "Yay!!" and if I say Yes, I get "Ohhhhh....." and sometimes crying. It's hard because I do want to be with you, but I do like work too. It's hard to explain to a three year old. I don't want you to think that I like work better than being with you, but I don't want you to think that I hate my work either. I'm proud to have a job that I like most of the time, and even if I could be a stay at home mom, I don't know that I would. I probably wouldn't work full time, but it's nice to get out of the house sometimes. I know you will understand that when you are older.
