Dear Drew,
It's the last year in the "single digits" as you have excitedly been reminding me of. Before long, you won't want Mom to read to you at night, you won't want to fill me in on your day-to-day activities and you'll look at me as if I have two heads.
But for now I'm going to cherish the way you still play with your toys - mostly the broken Spider-Man and the Minecraft Mini Figures - full of imagination. Whether it's to have them run through whatever video you're watching on the iPad, building battle scenes or reading with you - I love that you're still so into all things small and continue to use that imagination of yours. Life is still so full of wonder for you - I love your innocence about it all. I wish we could bottle up the innocence forever for you - to shelter you from the world we live in.
Third grade - now the oldest in your class, you're starting out the year so very excited about what this means for you. I hope you work to be the leader I know you can be. Continue to stand up for others, but don't let them bully or take advantage of you. I love the words you use and how you use them - continue to use them for good.
You've always been a sensational child, but now I'm experiencing life through your eyes and seeing how sensational life can be. It brings me such joy to have our chats, hear your perspective on things and hear your political views. You have so much to offer all of those whose lives you touch. Just remember not everything is perfect and there are good days mixed with the bad. Work on overreacting less and being grateful for what you have.
Wishing you a wonderful final year in the single digits!
Love you my punkin!
Mom
