Last day of day care for Eli, last day of work for Missy

Today is the last day in day care for Eli, and it's the last day at work for Missy. Starting on Monday, Missy will be at home with Eli full time!

I'm really glad that Missy will be home with Eli. This morning when I dropped Eli off at day care, he cried when I set him down. I needed to run to an early meeting at work, so I couldn't stay around to play with him for a few minutes; I just had to leave the toddler room and close the door behind me while Eli cried and crawled towards me, trying to catch up to me. "Heartbreaking" is too strong a word to describe how I felt about that -- I'll see him tonight, after all! -- but "sad" is certainly accurate.

So I'm very happy that Eli will get to be with Mommy from now on every day!
