Our little girls are feeling blue.
I don't like to write you posts like this, but I think in order for you to get a really good idea of what goes on when you are away, you should get the good, the ugly and the sad.
I wasn't sure what they were doing at first
Autumn helping Millie to put her shoes on.
So that they could go and look for you. It really breaks my heart to hear Millie call out for you and not find you.
Thankfully, Grandma and Grandpa Jordan stopped by for a quick visit which provided a much needed distraction.
Millie did not do well last night. I put her in her room around 915 pm (an hour 15 minutes past bedtime), I guess the time change has her all messed up, but I was done with holding her. She was pulling my hair out and that drives me nuts. She cried herself to sleep, but she eventually climbed back in her bed. She stayed put until about 430 this morning. She was freezing cold. I forgot to put some pants on her last night.
Millie is still doing well with the potty training. I suppose now is a good a time as any to tell you that I've decided I'm done with diapers and I'm done with pullups. We won't be buying anymore. Initially this causes me some more work, but I feel like I have to do it this way. I'd rather potty train Emelia NOW when it is easy to clean up her messes, especially while she is still sleeping on the crib mattress. Autumn has been wearing a pullup to bed for as long as I can remember and we went to underwear three nights ago. She is doing fabulous, although still needs some work.
This is the outfit Autumn picked out for school. She insisted on wearing her "pretty" shoes.
Miss Millie all ready for the day (and wearing panties)!
Once I picked Autumn up from school, Miss Keri stopped me and asked me about you. I had previously told her that you would be gone the month of March, so she asked me if you had left. I said, yes and asked her why. She told me that Autumn broke down in class today and cried her heart out. She told Miss Keri that you were taking too long to get back to her. I instantly had tears in my eyes. It is one thing to see for yourself your children be so sad, but it is another when others see it and tell you about it. Miss Keri told me that Autumn sat in her lap for about ten minutes and Miss Keri loved on her. When we got home, I did the same.
I think about how much I miss you and how much harder it is on the girls. I know it hurts you too. So, we are going to have our sad day today, pick ourselves up and press on. Tonight is soccer and then tomorrow is Millie's big eye appointment. Your mom is going with me to that. I'll let you know all about it.
We love you Sean John. We miss you.
Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo
