Dear Samuel,
This week is your last week of doing three days a week at daycare, while the time you have been away has helped me get a little better with my illness I have missed you so much. As of next week you will only be doing two days a week and we may look at dropping that back to one in the future too. I'm hoping to go back to university next semester but right now I dont know if I will as it would mean three days a week away from you plus extra time having to spend time studying and not playing with you some of the time your home.

I hate being away from you little man, hate the idea that if you get upset I won't be there to comfort you or hold you. Despite hating being away from you I can see that daycare is good for you. Since starting there you have gotten so much better at being around other children, you have become more independent and now use a spoon to feed yourself, you are babbling more too and some of those sounds are beginning to sound like real words. I am sure that you are going to start talking earlier then you would have otherwise because of daycare.

This week again nothing has really happened. We've spent time with Aunty Becky and your cousins, played outside, sung songs and danced and just enjoyed our time together. You've learnt to stack blocks now so we've been playing with them a fair bit and you love pulling your wagon along and filling it with your favorite toys.

I love you little man.
Always
Mummy.
