Back to School

Dear E,

Summer is quickly coming to an end. We have had so much fun filling our days with adventures, but all good things must come to an end. You have been asking to go back to school for the past two weeks. I just love how much you are into school. I can't believe that you will be going 3 mornings a week this year. Mommy is going to miss you.

I have been very busy looking for a school to send you to for the 2009/2010 school year. We absolutely love the school you are in now, but unfortunately, once you turn 3, tuition goes up to $12,000 a year. Crazy. We are visiting a few montessori schools to see if we fall in love with any of those, but most logically you are going to end up in a Catholic school. Your Daddy and I are all for the public schools, but because we live in the city, that isn't an option for us. There are no public schools in our district that we feel good about.

You are such a smart little guy. We spend our days having full on conversations. You have started reading. You can count to 30. And you are just all around clever. The other day you were taking your nap, and I decided to lay down for some cuddles. You woke up and decided you didn't want to go back to bed, but Mommy was exhausted. I told you that you could go practice your vocabulary on your computer or look at books. You smiled and said..."MMM, how about I do neither?" Than you said "I think Mommy needs some kisses."

On the sleep front, you are getting up earlier which I am not thrilled about, but you are a great sleeper. You have been in your twin bed since you were 22 months old, and you love it. The transition was seamless. You stay in bed all night, and you look forward to nap time.

You are constantly asking to go places, your favorites being to the Zoo to ride the train and to the Art Museum. You always ask to go see the paintings, and when you are home you are always wanting to paint. My little artist.

Every day I love you more and more. You are growing up so fast and I cherish all the moments we have together. Can you promise me something? When you are a teenager, will you still be my best friend?

I love you.
Mommy
