The Muffin Man had a tough return to being home and back at Summer Camp. Maybe it was the week away but he got really attached and doesn't want to be away from me. Drop offs in the morning which are typically pretty seamless are now drawn out with "I don't want you to leave" sprinkled in.
Declan told me that he'd made a wish that we would hug every day and his wish came true. Really sweet.
Now this evening when it was bedtime we talked about how I'd see him in the morning but then I'd be gone for a couple days on a work trip. This was not well received. Tears flowed. I reminded him that I would be here in the morning when he woke up but then he said "But I want you to come home so I can hug you later day too." Ugh. So sweet but tomorrow morning is going to be hard.
So thankful for this little monkey. We are really lucky and while it is tough being away at the same time he's the motivation to keep at it every day to protect our life.
