Monday was my first day back at work. The staff was taken on a field trip to an "outdoor education center" for team building activities. I wasn't aware that you needed to climb 30 feet in the air and walk across ropes and suspended ladders to build a team. Actually it was pretty cool. Last night our financial guy came to the house to talk about how we can take care of Henry's future in the event of... (coincidence??). Anyhoo, I am alive and well, just pretty lonely without my little guy. I'm trying to come up with words to describe my feelings about being without Henry all day. There are no words. I remember someone telling me that when you have children, you wear your heart on the outside of your body. I always thought that was sweet, like Henry is my heart, I get it. Now, I not only feel as though my heart is on the outside of my body as it feels very exposed and vulnerable and achy, I also feel so so soooo empty inside. Dramatic? Probably, but I think my working-mom friends know what I mean.
Henry loves his day-care. There are three other boys there for him to play with. One of them started kissing Henry's head as soon as I put him down yesterday ("mmwaa, mmwaa, he said). I know this is good for Henry; socializing, exercise, talking, blah, blah, blah, but when I saw that his top tooth had completely pushed through on Monday night and I hadn't noticed it that morning, you can bet I lost it. Poor Billy.
Well here are some pictures of our weekend. We just hung out together. Henry and I went to my friend's dance competition Friday night (he won!). Sunday we all went to the park and met these cute twins (Ashley and Katherine) who were nice enough to share the swing with Henry.
