Today was the day you went to visit your school for kindergarten. You were a little bit nervous and a lot excited.
I was so proud of you today. I saw you introduce yourself to another little boy and I saw you help out a friend that was a little more scared than you were. Your friend from preschool was in tears when they told all of the kids to line up. I asked her if she would be feel better if you held her hand. She nodded and left her mom's side to come with you. You were so sweet to help your friend in that way. When I left she had stopped crying and you were still holding her hand. I know that I don't have a lot to do with that kindness that is second nature to you, but it makes me feel so proud anyway.
You had a great time during the visit. I had a hard time not crying when I left my grown up little boy. I may have shed a tear as I left, but I pulled myself together. I managed to talk myself back from the ledge of full-on crying because if anything, I know you're ready to go. You are smart; you are thoughtful and kind; you love to learn; and you are excellent at making friends.
It is going to be so fun to see you go to school. I am going to love hearing every detail of your day. Believe me, I know that the tendency to share with me won't last forever. So for now I will be glad to listen to whatever you have to share until that day comes.
I love you darling boy. You have a lot to be proud of and you have given me a lot to be thankful for.
Love,
Mom
