Dear Wesley,

We have had an awesome summer together. I have loved getting to spend all day every day with you. I am very sad that this time is coming to an end. I have a few short days until I am back to work. It was so hard to leave you at daycare today even though it is just two days this week. I am so sad to know that I won't be the one getting to spend the majority of your awake time with you during the week. I wonder if you will wonder why I am suddenly leaving you. I wonder if you will think I don't want to be with you. I wonder if you will start to love your babysitter more than me.

I so badly want you to do well at daycare. I don't have a choice whether or not I work, and I want you to be happy. I just don't want you to be SO happy that you aren't happy to see me when I pick you up at the end of the day or so happy that you don't want to come home with me at night. I hope there's a good balance. You're happy at daycare and have fun, but you are happiest with me and your daddy. That probably sounds selfish, but I love that you are a mama's boy! I love that I make you happy when no one else can.

I can't describe how much I am going to miss you, so for now I will try to cherish every single second I have with you.

I love you, Wesley!

Love,

Mommy
