To My Partner

John returned to work this week, and we are all missing him. (Wilson summed it up by responding to John's explanation that he would have to go back to work by saying: Jane will be really sad.) John's done so much for all of us these four weeks-- soothed our little screamy, had adventures with Wilson, got Wilson to go to sleep in a flash (by himself!!!), and of course comforted and soothed me in all the vulnerable moments of becoming a mother again. We treasure the end of the day when we can jump on him (Wilson), stare at him and be cradled by him (Jane) and just let it all down (me).
