Dearest Piper ~
I hope you slide into kindergarten with ease. Who am I kidding, of course you will! The closer your first day of school gets, the more I sway between being really excited for you and being sad that time has seemed to pass us by so fast. When I pictured age 5, I still thought you would seem like my baby. You aren’t and you don’t. Most days, I look at you and can’t believe you are only 5. You seem like such a big girl, doing big girl things and I am standing at the doorway watching you grow up before my eyes.
I do miss that little baby girl who loved to snuggle with us. That baby girl who turned our world upside down and inside out. There are many times when I wish for just a few moments to go back in time and hold you, sleeping in my arms. Life is not like that and we don’t get to go back in time. So I try to embrace all of these moments and cherish each milestone and tell you how proud I am of you.
Take kindergarten by storm. Turn it’s world upside down and inside out. Then come home and tell me all about it!
Mama loves you, Magoo.
Love Mama.
