First day of Kindergarten

Dear Jonah,
Today was your very first day of kindergarten. Most mom's cry on their child's first day of kindergarten, but how could I cry when you were so excited to start school as a big boy. I came home from work and you were so excited to show me how you were dressed in your uniform. You wouldn't let your sister touch you because you were afraid she would get you dirty :). I put your tie on and you are the most handsomest little boy I have ever seen (and I'm not just saying that because I'm your mom either). You wipe the lint off your shorts and I can see the excitement in your face for the first day...You tell me you can't wait to tell your grandma's and grandpa about your first day of kindergarten. You tell Audrina that you are a big boy in big boy school and that is why you have to wear a tie and uniform to school. She wants to wear your tie too. When we get to your school and your classroom you are ready to run right in. Hold on my baby, don't go yet, just one more kiss and hug. I wonder as I right this how you are doing?...Are you thinking of me, do you miss me or are you having to much fun to give me a second thought...

Love you always and forever,
Mommy

My big girl

Dear Audrina,

It amazes me how fast you are growing up. I can't believe that you are two years old and such a girl. You're latest crazes are the nail polishes and the sunglasses. No matter where you go whether in the car or in the house you have a pair of sunglasses on or hooked to your shirt. You bring me the nail polish so I can paint your toes and I had never before painted your fingernails before but a few weeks back you INSISTED! :) And you said "mom I be careful, I no touch" and you walked for hours picking up your stuff with your palms so you wouldn't blotch the nail polish. I even bought little nail stickers so that on your toes right now you spot little flowers with a jeweled center! You walked right over to daddy and said, "isn't it pretty?" Necklaces drape your neck and not just one, no no, but three or four. The more the merrier right. Your such a big girl. I love you and your brother so much that it hurts sometimes. It's so hard to explain. When you look at something and you're heart is filled with such love that you feel like your heart is gonna burst. You'll understand someday my beautiful girl when you have babies of your own. I can see already that you will be a great mommy!! You have to sleep with at least two babies and you wrap you're arms over them and kiss them good night. During the day when you play with them I sometimes hear you yell at them. "Don't be bad, do you want to go to time out?" I walk in the room and you say, "sshhh mommy, she is in time out!" You talk so well, I can understand you clear as day. I can't wait to see the woman you turn out to be...

Love you always and forever,

Mommy
