School x2

My Zoe,

You are 4 months into Kindergarten.  Last night when I came home from work you took out a book that some little boy named RD made you.  It was a book of Dinosaurs.  Your most favorite thing at the time.  I said, that was nice of him to make you a book.  You said, yes.  He is my friend.  I asked if he made anyone else a book.  You said, no.  And you smiled real big and announced that you were in love with him.  Very matter of fact.  I said, you love him?  Do you even know what in love means?  You said, I am going to marry him.  I said, how do you know you love him?  And you said, when I look at his face I just know.  Well Zoe is he kind to people?  You said, yes.  I said, that is most important.

So, you my dear have I guess your first crush.  I said you are too young but Eoghan informed me you can get crushes at 2 years old.  So I guess it is fine.

ZOE, YOU ARE 5!!!!  How is this?  I have not written anything for so long.  I have had no energy for writing.  But because of this I am forgetting these moments.  These stories.  Right now you are in love with dinosaurs, dancing, huskies, mac mac cheese, the world, Olivia, your brother, and I guess this RD kid.

You gave up your babas back in February even though you like to revisit them once in a blue moon.  You are a strong, funny, creative, beautiful and loving little leader.  You have huge emotions and an amazing  mind of your own.You still love me more then anything in the world and I appreciate it greatly.  I know one day I will not be your number one person.


I could not even imagine life without you my daughter.  You brighten every moment of our lives.

Thank you for being my ZoBo!  And teaching me everyday how to be a more patient person.  I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON.

yours always,

baba
