Dear Connor - 5 Years, 10 Months

Dear Connor,
Tomorrow my dear you will be something that you've never been before. You will be introduced to your independence and hopefully your desire learn. You are going to begin the biggest social learning experience of your life. Tomorrow you will be starting kindergarten. No big deal I guess.


You had your assessment day last Thursday and the only information I could get out of you at first was that I didn't pack you enough for snack and that you were starving. You also mentioned that you met a friend, but you didn't remember her name. You told me the day seemed like a million hours and I cringed. You ain't seen nothing yet.



You had a great Summer. I ran your and your brother ragged, going from one activity to the next until last week when I completely burned out. I kept you and your brother home for most of the week, because I stopped moving for one day and completely lost my momentum. I didn't think I could bear to do anything other than the absolute necessary, (which did in fact include a trip to Discovery Place).



You will be thrilled to get some time away from your brother and I. At least for a month or so anyway. Now, "Daddy home days" will be called "Daddy and Connor home days". You'll get to do home work, go to bed early and eat packed lunches.  I know you won't believe it, but we'll miss you terribly.  It seems like just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital on a rainy day in California.
I love you,
Mama
