Well, Little Man, you start kindergarten today. It really feels like yesterday you greeted me with that little wrinkly face. No tears…just this amazing inquisitive look…like you were already figuring it all out. (Even the doula swore she never saw anything like it…like you were preparing an evaluation of the whole delivery.) Your desire and ability to know everything has seemed to only grow by leaps and bounds. It’s funny…when I decided to leave teaching to stay home and be with you I thought I would become mushy brained from lack of mental exercise. HA! I had no idea what I had created. You are truly one of the most beautiful and brilliant souls I have ever known. As much as I’m going to miss our endless days of walking, talking, and exploring the world together, I am also really excited for what’s to come. I guess its time to share you Peanut. I know you are going to do amazing things for this world.

And no…that is totally NOT your mother who has her tear smeared face pressed up against the window. Just a striking resemblance.
