Dear A,

One day you will see

Les Miserables the movie.

Until then, hear the songs

and you can even sing alongs.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

Your alarm sounded in the middle of the night.

When I heard it, I said “That’s not right!

It’s still time for you to sleep tight.”

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

<What does it mean that it woke me up – from across the house – but not him?>

Dear A,

The wind in the trees

I’d like to watch, please.

Let’s cuddle in bed

and watch them sway overhead.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

Last night we heard Billy Joel.

His songs are great rock & roll.

I like his song “It’s All About Soul.”

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

<Not actually my favorite. But it rhymed. The Time To Remember though…there’s a song.>

Dear A,

Yesterday we had sandwiches to eat,

then went to Dairy Queen.

Creamsicles were really neat.

We licked our fingers clean.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

How much did you walk yesterday?

Miles and miles did you say?

That’s a long way to walk, hey hey.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

A field trip! To the Science Center?

No way.

A field trip! To the Science Center!

TODAY!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

You put yourself to bed on your own.

By doing that you have shown

how much you have grown.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

We went out for ice cream cones,

and you dug up dinosaur bones!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

You read a Curious George story to me.

Reading together is a great way to be.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother
