Dear Luca,
Right now you are napping peacefully in your swing after almost an entire week of refusing to nap during the day. You are just so interested in what's going on around you, you don't want to miss a thing! We have been spending a lot of time on your favorite play mat, and this past week I even got out a big blanket to put under it since you have been rolling and scooting all around the living room. I have so much fun just watching you explore. I would say we could add letter links to your list of favorite toys now. You could play with those for hours. I hope you enjoyed all of our trips to the park this week. The weather has been gorgeous in the mornings and the heat is finally starting to subside. I love going to the park with you and showing you off to all the other neighborhood mommies. You are so well behaved, and you just love being outside in the fresh air observing all the kids on the playground.
I have one more week at home with you and I am feeling pretty sad. I love being with you every moment of every day. It's so hard to think about being away from you. But I want you to know that even when we can't be together I am thinking of you every second and counting the minutes until I can see you. Even though your daddy and I would love for me to stay home with you, we also know that you will do well at your new daycare. You will learn new things, make new friends, and have lots of different toys to play with. You will become more independent, and the time we are together will be even more special. I know one day you will understand, and you will be proud of me for being a working mom. You will be proud that every day when I have to be away from you, I am making an impact in the lives of lots of other children. You will be proud that your mommy has such an important job.
Every day I hope and pray that God will provide a way for me to be home with you, and I have to have faith that one day he will answer that prayer, but in the meantime please don't ever forget how much your momma loves you.
Love,
Momma
