5 Years, 3 Months
Dear Carolyn,
Today you are 5-and-a-quarter years old. Today you also met your twin baby cousins for the first time. You were so excited to meet them! You kept whispering to the girls how cute they were and how soon they would be big girls like you and you’d play with them and teach them how [...]

5.1 Years Old!
Dear Carolyn,
I’ve been debating for a while now about whether to continue writing monthly letters to you. On the one hand, I’d like to think that when you’re older you’ll love to go back and read them. On the other hand, I think that in between now and then you’re going to be really embarrassed [...]

5 Years Old, aka Happy Birthday, Carolyn!
Dear Carolyn,
Today you are five. Five seems so old, doesn’t it? Last year I was worried about you turning four, because it seemed like I was losing my baby. But this year I was excited for you to turn five. You’ve been excited too!
Since your birthday party is tomorrow, we spent the day doing other [...]

4.11 Years Old!
Dear Carolyn,
Yesterday you turned 4 years and 11 months old. Just one more month until you turn 5! You have changed and grown so much in the past month it’s amazing. You’ve only been in school for less than three weeks, but you’re already a bit more confident, a bit more…grown up, I guess.
You went [...]

4.10 Years Old!
Dear Carolyn,
This is the last letter I’m going to write to you before you become a great big Kindergartner. I can’t even imagine how that happened…I swear just a moment ago you were my teeny tiny little munchkin, just learning how to smile.
We’ve had a busy, and I think wonderful, summer. You’ve taken classes for [...]

4.9 Years Old!
Dear Carolyn,
Today you are four-and-three-quarters. See? I’m teaching you fractions and you’re not even in kindergarten yet!
It’s been an incredibly busy month. We’ve had two parties for your sister, one of which included seeing all of your cousins from our of town. You’ve had several little mini camps and started swimming lessons this past week [...]

4.8 Years Old!
Dear Carolyn,
You’ve been out of school for nearly a month - this summer is already flying by! I’m afraid I’m going to blink and you’ll be on the bus for kindergarten!
So far we’re having a pretty low-key summer. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that our daily morning argument typically centers around whether you can watch [...]

4.7 Years Old!
Dear Carolyn,
Today you are 4 years and 7 months old. This is the last time I will write to you while you are in preschool - school is out next week, and then in a few short months you’ll be getting on a school bus every morning.
You are so excited for school. But you’re also [...]

4.6 Years Old!
Dear Carolyn,
Today you are officially 4-and-a-half. You’ve made sure that everyone you see knows it, too! When I told you this morning that it was your half birthday, you wanted to know if there would be cake. I thought about it, but instead we settled for ice cream at Friendly’s after lunch. Maybe next year [...]

4.5 Years Old!
Dear Carolyn,
You’re just a little closer to being 4 and a half. Now you tell everyone: “I’m four. Soon I’ll be four and a half. And in October I’ll be five!” Then you follow it up with “My mommy’s name is Sarah and my daddy’s name is Denis. And we have [...]
