Rita's Saves the Day

My friend Andrea invited the girls and I over to swim this morning. It was the perfect distraction - I did okay but definitely counted down the minutes until I could hear how Cole's first day went.













Tom and I walked in his classroom at 4pm and he came running with tears streaming down his face. He grabbed my leg and wouldn't let go. I finally got it out of him that it was a very long day and he missed me. He's used to asking me for snacks, water or anything else he needs and he was overwhelmed with being away from us for seven hours. Broke my heart - Fortunately Italian ice fixes everything.
