I saw this online today and thought it was so appropriate for Libby's first day of daycare with Aunt Katie. It's a good reminder to stay focused on what's most important now that so many other things will be competing with Libby for my attention. It also brought a few tears to my eyes.
"Try to feel honored, rather than burdened, by your baby needing you so much and needing so much of you. He/she is probably the only person in the world who will ever love you 100% without criticism or reservation. Arrange to enjoy his/her company whenever you can and don't let even the first murmurs of jealousy set up stresses between you and whoever cares for him/her when you can't. He/she is probably the only person in the world who always wants to be with you. He/she would never prefer anyone else although they'll accept loving care wherever it can be found. Make him/her feel good and let him/her make you feel good, too. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose."

Trust me, she misses you. Today she told me that she missed you so much yesterday that she cried all evening just so you wouldn't think it was ok to bring her back here today!
