Dear Mini-Me, Wubster, and Mickey,
I miss you guys. Even when I called and heard the screech-filled chaos reverberating throughout the background, I missed you guys.
I miss the random one-liners, the imaginative adventures, the joyful exuberance. I even miss the dinnertime drama, the sibling taunting, and the glass shattering shrieks...a little.
Mickey, I miss your snuggles.
Wubster, I miss your smile.
Mini-Me, I miss watching you paint.
Today I had the chance to chat with Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld, authors/illustrators of several of the books we've enjoyed reading at bedtime. I thanked them for their contributions to our family, but mostly I talked about how much I enjoyed reading with you guys. Mini-Me, I told them you've started reading on your own and how proud of you I am. Wubster, I told them how you can spell your name and several colors. Mickey, I told them it won't be long and you'll be reading, too. I thanked them again and walked away excited to have met them and excited to read some new books with you three.
But mostly I walked away and thought about how I was going to miss reading with you tonight.
I certainly hope you've enjoyed the story-time videos I recorded before I left, but I hope you're as excited as I am to snuggle up together with a few books when I get home on Sunday.
