Dear A,

You and brother built a great track

so then the trains could clickety-clack

all the way out and then come back.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

Is Daddy drinking Chinese tea?

And Chinese food for dinner, could be.

He’ll climb a Chinese mountain, whee!

On a Chinese plane he’ll come back to we.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

A mohawk?

Wait, let’s talk.

I’m in shock.

Looks neat when you walk.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

You wanted a note that is funny,

so what if I hop like a bunny?

I’d jump to the sky

as if I could fly. 

But only if it is sunny.

Love you honey! Got any money?

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

Mean words hurt the heart.

Never say them – don’t even start.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

When you were little you said

the place we live is “Sandy Lego.”

When you got older, on a sign you read,

and realized it’s really San Diego!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

We heard a song about taking your time,

sung by a smart man and with a nice rhyme.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

Tonight we’ll make a challah.

Will yours be short or tall-ah?

I might make mine small-ah,

and then eat it all-ah.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

We’ve been walking to see a spider,

pirate ship, minion, and ghosts.

It’s been fun to go outside-r

and decide which one we love the mosts.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

Wow you jumped a lot – 

so high I even thought

you might soon be feeling

the very top – the ceiling.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother
