Dear Nate,
Happy 5th Birthday! You have been looking forward
to turning 5 for quite some time. You
keep promising “I’ll try this food when I’m 5 or I’ll read to you when I’m
5”. I’ll be interested to see if there
will be a shift in your willingness to change during your 5th
year. You are a purist; you like things
in their original form and don’t like to experiment with food. You like what you like. Vanilla over
chocolate, any “kids menu” type food and you love a good breakfast.
You are still in preschool 4 days a week and continue to
thrive. Your best friends are Fritz,
Parker and Alice. You have been going to
Kindergarten story times at Grandview every month to meet the teachers and
becoming familiar with the building. You
are looking forward to attending school with Annabelle in the fall and riding
the bus. (The B-U-S, the B-U-S!) For now we still have our drive time in the
morning where you tell me stories about superheroes, and Lego’s, and Superhero Lego’s
until we arrive. A few afternoons a week you come upstairs to my work. You either hang out with the guys (Mr. Merz, Doug & Bob) playing Rockem Sockem
Robots or Dart Guns or play the Ipad.
I’m going to miss you next school year but will always be grateful for
these 2 years we have had with bonus time together every day.
You and that comfy cozy pillow, still besties. You are not quite as attached as you were
last year but you still keep it either upstairs or downstairs depending on
where you are playing. Bedtime of course
wouldn’t happen without “pilly”. You are
still such a cuddler; I love how you still love to snuggle up with anything
“cozy”. Blankets, pillows, people, you are a cuddle bug.
This year you have gotten into playing with Lego’s. Mostly
superhero Lego’s but really any will do.
You received a Lego Table for Christmas but still continue to spread
them all around while you play. I love
when you create something out of spare pieces from the sets; you definitely
have an engineers mind. This fits in
with your recent aspiration to be a “builder” when you grow up.
We are having a birthday party for you at PartyZone on your
actual birthday. We invited the boys
from your Preschool class plus a few of your other good friends. TD, Jonah,
your cousins Jessie & Jason, Logan.
Your Godfather Josh is coming dressed as Batman to give everyone their
party favors. (Capes made by me & Nana).
You are really looking forward to the whole day of festivities.
You want to start taking acting class like Annabelle. We let you know you must learn to read and I
think that has given you the push to work harder at it. I think you can secretly read more than you
let on because you like to be read to.
Know how much you are loved dear kid, to the moon and
back.
Mommy (although you tried out Mama for awhile it didn’t stick)
