Pre-K to Kindy

You are officially off to kindergarten, where did the time go?!? Trying to put words onto paper to express how amazed I am and proud of you I am would be unfair and would not do it justice. Your heart is so big, the love you give so infinite I cannot even begin to explain.

I have to admit you do worry a lot and that makes me nervous. I try to encourage you to be mindful and actually just the other day we learned what that means. You were miserable because you thought of how much you are going to miss school and your teacher Miss Y and Miss Kristie. You cried hard and I could not help but feel bad bud happy you enjoyed school.

The last day school came and went. I picked you up on the last day of school, we went to eat and I asked you how you liked school. You told me you are going to miss your friends and your teachers the most but were ready to not wear a uniform and meet new friends at your new school. You also told that you didn't make it to purple. There was not one day you were off green which means you were good and to get purple means you did exceptional. I remember sitting there with you and you were so sad because you did not get purple. My Averi it really is hard for me to believe you did not make it on purple one day this year.

You are so kind, so helpful and just an amazing little person. It is hard to believe just a few short years ago you were a small baby and now this person I love more than anything.

Toughness

So many days are taken for granted and with each passing minute that I reflect upon I tend to be regretful. What I want you know is that I love you. I may not say it enough but I hope that in your heart and mind you know I love you more than I able to express. It is the summer of 2017 and by the end of the summer you will be eight. Time has gone by too fast and before I know it, you will be gone, off into the world. It scares me. It makes me nervous to think that I do not spend enough time with you. It makes be anxious to think that one day you will be off in the world. My hopes is that you will flourish. I will be hard on you, I will push but in the end my love for you will never diminish. Just recently we practiced softball. We set up the net in the backyard and I threw you soft toss. You struggled and I pushed you, I pushed you to the point where you were crying. I pushed you harder and you cried harder but you started to succeed. You pushed through the difficultly and through...

Celebrate the Fireworks

Dear Averi, You made a funny comment the other day about July 4. As you were talking with Bo and what July 4 was, you explained to him that this is the day we celebrate fireworks. We laughed at the explanation but in all reality it was not far off.  Your mom and I explained what the real meaning was and while you got the gist of what we were talking about I could still tell it was more about the fireworks for you. While you spend this fourth with your Gram, family and friends stayed over to watch the fireworks. We watched in amazement, we watched for those ten minutes and oooo and ahhhhed over all the bright colors, the loud booms but needless to say we watched. For that moment we all were lost in the moment. I remember when I was kid watching the movie, "The Sandlot" and always wanting to play a "night game" under the light of the fireworks. Keep that excitement for the little things.  When you live in the now and everything has a certain sense of amazement a...

Believe in Now

When I first started this blog my goal was to tell you more about our life, my life and the ones you love. It is amazing to me how time fly's. You are almost four now. There is not a day that goes by that I don't look at you and say wow, what an amazing person. You grow and mature so fast it baffles me. I love when you sit and talk to me. One of my favorite things in the world is when you tell me about your day and the things you made at Ms. Stephanie's. The passion and excitement in your voice makes me gleam with love. I love you kid. A little about me on this day. You will soon find out, I believe in one thing, the present. I refer to myself as a Buddhist primarily because that is what people know. I am a believer in being a good human being, I am a believer in when I die, I will still have some sort of presence later, I am a believer that there is inherent good in everyone. Lastly, I am a believer that the mind we have is more powerful than anything in the world. ...
