Dear Carolyn,<\/p>\n

This is the last letter I’m going to write to you before you become a great big Kindergartner.\u00a0 I can’t even imagine how that happened…I swear just a moment ago<\/a> you were my teeny tiny little munchkin, just learning how to smile.\"20090809_blocks\"<\/p>\n

We’ve had a busy, and I think wonderful, summer.\u00a0 You’ve taken classes for gymnastics and swimming, and you just started soccer today.\u00a0 We’ve gone to library story times, you’ve read to therapy dogs, and we’ve frequented the farmer’s market.\u00a0 We’ve visited the children’s museum, played on playgrounds, drawn with chalk, blown bubbles and ridden tricycles…well, you did that last one, not me!\u00a0 We’ve managed to fit a few playdates and playgroups in there.\u00a0 I’ll admit you’ve also watched plenty of TV.\u00a0 But you’ve read dozens and dozens of books and colored and played with your dollhouse and ponies and Barbies.\u00a0 We’ve really probably squeezed every last drop of fun out of this summer that we could have!\"20090823_reading\"<\/p>\n

It’s going to be hard watching you get on that bus in a couple of weeks.\u00a0 I can’t promise I won’t cry, because for the past 4 years and 10 months, my life has revolved mainly around you (and for the past year, your sister too).\u00a0 You’re my little sunshine, and I’m going to miss you all day long!\u00a0 But I know in my heart that you’re ready – academically, socially and emotionally – to take this step, even if I’m not.\u00a0 Maybe by the time you’re headed off to college I’ll have learned to let you go a little more easily.\"20090820_horse\"<\/p>\n
