Your 1st Easter

Hey Monkey,

It's been a while since I wrote you anything so I am long overdue. This weekend you celebrated your 1st Easter. We figured it was something that you would not remember so it was pretty much status quo in terms of our days. We did not make a special meal, we did not go to church, we simply sat down as a family and spent as much time with you as possible. Of course Grandma did give you your first Easter gift as you received a toy and some Easter Eggs from her........so far it looks like you love them...we'll see.

Easter however means 1 thing monkey. Mommy is getting one step closer to going back to work. When she goes back to work.......we are going to have to let you go and spend most of your days with some strangers. I wish daddy made enough money to have mommy stay home with you because it is breaking her heart every day and tearing me apart to see her like that. To spend everyday of her life for a year with you and then to send you to Daycare is just not right. Daddy is having trouble sleeping trying to figure out a way to have mommy stay home with you. I am actually getting teary eyed right now to think that mommy and daddy will only be able to see you part time. I don't want that smile of yours to go away. I don't want you to be more attached to a stranger then to us. Promise that you will always love us Monkey because we work to give you a better life........please do not forget that.
