Bittersweet




Deanna took Hayden to a local kids hang out and met up with Andrea and Addison to play the morning away. This was a hard day for me because as much as I love that Hayden is cared for my his grandparents there are times that I miss him and wish I could be home more to share in more experiences. Fortunately I have been there when his "firsts" occur such as tooth, walking, smiling etc. Well I was at work and checking my emails as Deana will send me a couple of updates on Hayden daily to let me know fun things they have been doing, funny things he has done and just routine info such as nap times, menu items and diaper descriptions. I want to know as much as I can when he is away. Well about 2 weeks ago she took him to play with Addison at this local spot and sent me some photos from her phone ( they were poor quality so Andrea sent me some from her camera, Thanks!). It made me sad but happy at the same time. I was sad I wasn't experiencing this with him but so glad he had grandparents to take him to do things like this. Hayden had such a fun time that we have scheduled a play date with Addison to do the same again. This time I will get to see his joy first hand!

I know how it is to miss your little one while you are at work. It breaks my heart when I go pick up Kayla and she does not want to leave her nana's house because she is having so much fun. I just try to keep in mind that if I was not working, I would not be able to provide Kayla with a roof over her head, save money for a good education, and all the things she needs. Also, I think it is good for Kayla to be close to her grandparents and have the opportunity to learn things from them on a daily basis.
Love, Danielle
