My Dearest Noah!
I can't believe it's time for your Kindergarten! We even delayed you by a year for several reasons, mainly the pandemic and remote learning last year, and still, I feel like time is passing way too fast. My first baby! How are you already 6 years old? How are you going to big kids school?
On the other hand, I know you are so ready. You are incredibly smart and highly intuitive - you are going to be okay. Not only okay but you are going to have an amazing time. I know it!
I am sad that you are done with Mansfield Children's Center but hoping that you will spend some time there on school vacations and summer. We will see. That place was a God sent to you and us as a family. Ollie is still there for another year so it's not a final good bye yet.
I am curious how will you and Ollie do without each other. Yesterday you spent the morning in Ollie's class because we didn't send you to a filed trip and you didn't want to leave. Ollie was so excited to have you that he didn't leave you alone for second. You two are a miracle together. Truly amazes me every day. But it's only for a year and then he will go to the same school as you (different class of course).
I am thinking about your schedule. You love activities but you also love being home and doing Legos. I don't want to create the hamster wheel we had before the pandemic, running around every day till it's bed time. But you love piano, and you are starting soccer which you are so excited about, and we are resuming swimming so it's a pretty full schedule. You also started to take tennis lessons - but maybe that will need to stop. I don't know yet. I will talk to you about it this weekend.
I love chatting with you. It is not only fun but insightful. You are so beyond your age when it comes to conversations. I feel lucky to be your mom and your friend. For now - I hope it will never change. Right now, you tell me everything, and you share your feelings so openly! You are honest to a fault and observant beyond measures. It's incredible how you can pick up on so many details and nuances both visible and/or not.
I am nervous about school only because of the pandemic. The virus has a new variant that is more dangerous to kids and the mask mandate is only until October 1st as of now. Many people are pushing back for reasons unknown to me. Maddening! I want you to be safe, I NEVER EVER want to see you sick. It hurts my body, heart and mind.
Anyway, good luck my boy! You got this and you will ace it. Don't forget to have fun and learn something new every day! Remember, you are never too smart and never too old to learn new things. It's the beauty in life!
I love you with all my heart Kicsi Lego!
