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
