Time has just flown by it seems like just the other day you were learning to walk and crawl. I feel like I blinked and you are now five and so grown up using big words and having such sass. You are growing up and I want you to know you are AMAZING.
I won’t lie I did not cry dropping you off today, I jumped for joy. We just finished up a quarantine where my patience and sanity was tested to the extreme, so I needed a break – thank you kindergarten! But that’s not to say I that I won’t miss and wonder what’s going on at school and I am not grieving the loss of my bold toddler baby lady. I do. I do miss that lady, but I also celebrate your growth and learning.
I hope that you will listen, watch, learn, experience and love school. I want you to learn to read and add and subtract. Discover a passion for history, science, math, art, dodge ball or writing. Make friends, art, and mistakes. I want you to show love and grace while doing it. Be a friend. Do to it all and be you doing it.
I sent a postcard in your lunch box that says “Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons.” – and I mean it. Be that flamingo. Be okay being yourself, you are smart, fierce, genuine and sassy. Here’s to a great year baby lady.
Lots of love Mom
