Tomorrow is your first day of kindergarten and I can hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday that I brought you home from the hospital. You've always been a "Momma's boy" (despite how much your daddy teases you about it!) and I hope that will never change. You have turned into the funniest little boy ever who can make me laugh endlessly with your silly faces. As a matter of fact, you know that and have used it many times to distract me if I'm ever getting on to you.
I think you are excited about starting school, but you don't quite show it like your sister did. You've not really gotten into the backpacks or new clothes, but I think you are pretty pumped about your new lunchbox and tennis shoes. My prayer for you tonight is that you wake up excited in the morning about school. What a great adventure you are about to begin!
Although I'm excited about you starting school, I'm a little sad as well. You're my baby and I'm not really ready to let you go. I'm not sure how I'm going to ride to work without you in the car with me every day. I will miss you running up to me and shouting, "Mommy!" when I picked you up every day at Mrs. Mae's. That was always one of the highlights of my days and I have always dreaded the day when you stopped doing that. You see, that would mean that you're growing up and I know I keep saying it, but I'm not ready for that. I'm hoping that tomorrow when I pick you up from school that you will still be as excited to see me as I will you!
As I said, you are about to start a great adventure! You are more than ready for kindergarten and I can't wait to see you learn and thrive as you make new friends. I know you're going to blow your teacher away with your math skills already! :)
Cooper, you are my special gift from God and I'm so proud to be your Mommy! God knew that I needed you before I even did and I can't thank him enough for the blessing and privilege of being your Mommy!
I love you to the sun and moon and back, Cooper Bear!
Love,
Mommy
