There have been a number of (particularly trying) days since I started staying home with the boys back in February of this year when I wondered if I'd made the right decision by quitting my job. Today those concerns were put to rest.
Wilder just woke up from his nap. It took him quite awhile to fall to sleep, so he'd been in his room for a little over three hours. He woke up in a great mood, and was all stretches and sleepy smiles. He pointed to a toy in his bed and told me he was sorry for bringing it into bed to play.
"It's OK," I assured him. "You napped and that was the important part."
"But I missed you," I added
"I missed you too," he replied. And then he paused, and followed that up with this:
"And when I was a baby, I'd miss you all day when you went to work. I missed you so much."
"So you're glad I'm home with you now?"
"Yes, Mama. I'm glad." Big hug.

Wow, bet your heart was melting! That boy is pretty smart.
I'm bawling. And reevaluating.
