As your mum, its such an amazing thing to see some of my own passions and interests rub off on you. I look at you sitting quietly drawing and creating on our summer mornings while your loud little brother is at preschool, and I am reminded of myself when I was young.
This month you have been home for school holidays. It has been an amazing summer. A few days ago, I have never seen you so excited about something you picked out from the shop. It was a Crayola Felt maker, I told you we could get it out when your brother is in bed. This night, you helped me put him to bed, and made sure he was a happy camper. I wonder why ? I love that little things like this can make you smile.
You go to school next week, how will I survive each day without you ? Maybe by looking forward to hearing about each day, and about all the new friends you are making. I hope !.
I dream that you find the things you love, and hold onto them, dearly. When ever things get hard, I know I have you, and so many more years to see you grow. I cant tell you how excited we are about buying our first home, one that you have told me we are painting Pink ! We may have to compromise....
Love Mum
