Dear A,

You made a necklace yesterday

with so much detail – yay!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

New pajamas just for you.

Warm and cozy all night through.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

I missed you this weekend.

So glad I’m back home with you.

We’ll all have fun together this week,

with Daddy, Sister, and Brother too.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

We’re going to movie night, you know.

We’ll sit with friends and watch the show.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

(Alt version based on reality, if not rules of grammar:

We’re going to movie night, you see.

So you’ll yell and jump like you’re crazy.

Your brother and sister will follow your lead

and your parents will wish that they had ‘flee-ed’.)

Dear A,

Yesterday we forgot your green folder.

We’ll make sure it’s in your backpack – on your shoulder.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

We read the life cycle of a butterfly

from egg to caterpillar to cocoon, then fly!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

You made a drum.

Let’s play now – come!

Drum with your thumb.

Parumpumpum.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

Daddy made your lunch today.

I hope it came out ok!

Love, Daddy, Mommy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

We’re reading a book about a mouse who lives in a hotel.

Last night we read the part about when into the trashcan he fell.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

We’re listening to music that comes from a movie.

They are pretty songs and it’s so groovy.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

(I’m surprised that our 5-year-old is so into music from Les Miserables.)
