The thing I miss most about work is seeing Amy’s kids on a regular basis. Luckily – it hasn’t been too bad. There are a few days that Amy and Jim overlap with timing and need someone just for an hour or two – I had told her to give me a call – if I could come – I would.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was one of those days!<\/p>\n

We came inside for bathroom breaks and princess time. The girls LOVE all the Disney princesses and would spend their entire lives in character if they could!<\/p>\n

They tried on my sunglasses – to which Ella announced the she felt like a ROCK STAR!<\/p>\n

During the day Ella made the comment about being careful around me so that she doesn’t bump the baby in my tummy. So I explained the best I could that I didn’t have a baby in my tummy anymore. It is hard to describe to someone’s child since you don’t know what they want them to know. She wanted to know why – kids always do – but she did her best to understand. And as kids do – accept something in that moment and move on to coloring or playing princess.<\/p>\n

*M* crawled up in my lap later and Ella asked why – I told her that she must have wanted a break and to just sit with me. Ella climbed up too and took my face in her little hands and said – Danielle – since you don’t have a baby anymore – you can pretend for a while that we are your babies. It was all I could do not to cry just a little. I love the honesty and absolute raw emotion of kids.<\/p>\n

Amy – I don’t know if I can ever describe to you the impact your kids have on me – especially in times such as this. I love them dearly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
