It’s been 9 days since your 7th birthday and
honestly, I completely forgot about writing your birthday letter until about
two days ago. And we were so busy I didn’t have a chance to do it then. I thought about just not writing them anymore
but I hope one day you read these and get a small glimpse of how much I love
you, even if I did write it late.
What a year you’ve had! You finished Kindergarten and
started 1st grade. You can
read almost anything you see now and have discovered a love of math. You have started your first grade year with
all gold stars and we couldn’t be prouder.
You have fallen more in love with our caterpillars and
butterflies, sometimes you’re even more enthusiastic than I am. You love American Ninja Warriors and want
to start training now. You still love
Star Wars and trains and for your birthday Daddy and I built you a train room
in the back of the shed. You also love
Nerf guns and had a big Nerf battle birthday which was a huge success.
You still play baseball and soccer and have also joined Boy
Scouts. You have discovered an interest
in fishing and even caught a fish that we were able to make 3 tiny fish nuggets
from, which you said were delicious.
Your love for your sister is so remarkable to me. You look after her, worry about her, play
with her and fight with her at times.
You make friends easily and have made all A’s so far in 1st
grade. You have taken on more chores and
now empty and load the dishwasher every day.
I am soo proud of you and of the person you are
becoming. Keep loving everyone and stop
worrying about doing everything perfectly.
I love you so much!
Mommy
