When her full-time Dad leaves the room, this tech-savvy kid tells-all in secret emails to her working Mom.

Mornin' Momma!
Dad's taking the trash out, so here I am! For the first time since we met, you didn't come to greet me when I awoke. I called for you with my sweet babbles, but Daddy came instead. He picked me up, swung me around, and showered me with kisses and hugs. It was fun, but I still wondered where you were.
Daddy must have known I was looking for you, because he explained that it was time for you to return to work, and that he would be watching over me. I was a little confused, but as soon as he gave me my morning milkies, it became a little clearer. I miss you terribly, and all the snuggles you and I shared during those hot, summer days. But I feel safe and secure with Daddy, so don't worry about me!
After breakfast, Daddy joined me on the floor, where we were surrounded by warm blankets and fuzzy animals. We played with my soft blocks, and Daddy read me a short book that looked really yummy. But somehow, chewing a book didn't feel right, so I chewed on my bottom lip instead. That always makes me feel better. Soon after that, I got very sleepy. Daddy sat in the rocky rock chair with me, while I drifted towards sweet dreams.
Do you know what I dreamed about? You. You were holding me in your arms and feeding me milkies, staring at me like I was the only little baby girl in the world. It was the best dream ever. Come home soon, Momma. Daddy and I miss you.
Love,
Maia
Dear Maia,
What a wonderful surprise to hear from you! Yes, it is time for me to return to work, after three short months that seemed to fly by. I loved spending the summer with you - they were sheer Heaven for me. I really didn't want to leave you, and between you and me, I'm totally NOT ready to go back to work. But your Daddy and I agreed that my career could take better care of us as a family and Dad was sick of working retail with all those long hours. So. Here we are.
OH how I missed seeing your smiling, giggly face this morning. I've been preparing for my return to work, so I know you have lots of milkies around there to keep you happy and content. Just lay back in Daddy's arms, and enjoy your time with him. In the meantime, I'll be counting the hours and minutes until we can be together again.
Love Always and Forever,
Momma
