All I Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarden

An old poem that holds so true for you!

This is not to say that I mean you are learning everything in school because we definitely have our ups and downs with the public school system but it is to say that this year, your Kindergarden year, has truly been a break through opportunity for you. And, as much as we have our battles with school you really have learned so much from your peers and you have such a motivation to go to school everyday. As of today you will be in school full day three days a week and then your extended school day on Tuesday and Thursdays. This schedule, on top of your therapy with Linda and Brittany is going to be a balancing act but definitely a step in the right direction.

You have taught me so much in the last eight months (yes, as of tomorrow you have been home eight months!!) you have taught me to live each day, to let down my guard and not care who might see me dance with you, or make silly sounds. You have taught me to celebrate the small things in life, and most importantly you have taught me to love. It's funny, I thought love would be the easiest of the life lessons, that it occurs immediately and without question -and even though I did fall in love with you from the first day I spent with you and knew we were to be a forever family - you and I have had to learn to truly love each other and it grows stronger everyday. We have both had to test our boundaries to form our trust with each other and we have both had to break down our own walls.

I never realized how many walls I had to break down. How strong my walls had become, and how much your love could change me. I have grown, matured, and learned many of lifes lessons watching you just being you. I have learned acceptance, tolerance, and understanding. I continue to learn patience and perseverance. I cannot explain the importance of these lessons on my life to you. The change within me and how it impacts the way I interact with people, my outlook on life, and our relationship. I cannot thank you enough for those life lessons and I know we will both continue to grow together.

Keep on truckin baby
Love
Mommy
