Say It Isn't So!

JPD, it can't be possible that you are going to kindergarten tomorrow. How did this happen? How did you grow up so much, so fast?

I'm going to miss our days of playing and reading and building volcanoes, JPD. I'm going to miss going on all our little field trips, and Grandma will too. How quiet my days will be without your smiling face and chatting voice, asking me so many questions that I never could have imagined!

I'm feeling sad because our days at home together are going to be so rare now. We didn't do everything I wanted to do. We did even less of everything that you wanted to do! And that's the thing, of course--you're going to love school because it will be so very full of things that you will love to do. Your teacher will never have to stop reading because she has to make dinner or vacuum the upstairs! And so many friends to play and learn with! So many amazing new things to learn about our beautiful, amazing world!

It's going to be great--just wait and see! I love you so much, my little lover boy!
