Dear Jameson,
You're 5!! Holy cow how is this even happening? I had to read my last letter to you to see what was going on when you were 4.5, oh so much has happened.
You started school at Cottonwood, and you LOVE it. They love you too. You play and play and play and make me millions of little art projects and collect "shinys" in the sandbox and play "doggy" with Coco and a few other friends. I help out there once a month usually, it's so fun to see you play with other kids. You have really great manners, and you're so funny always making other people laugh. We had your mid year conference and Teacher Gail had only good things to say about you. It's just such a good fit.
We moved! Yep, we sold our house that you were born in (ok, you weren't born THERE but still), and boy that was hard. Hard to move, hard to adjust to the new house, it was a trying time for all of us. You have a great big yard now and we got you a swing set playground thing and Oma and Opa bought you a trampoline! You have actually done great in the new house, the first few weeks you weren't sure, but we've really settled in well. We're in a much better school district, and we really wanted a yard for you and for Sebastian.
Speaking of sweet giant Sebastian, we did have to say goodbye to him so very unexpectedly about 3 months ago. That was awful, really awful. Yet again though, you process things like the big boy you are, you ask questions, and you're just so understanding about life sometimes it shocks me. We sure will miss that big lug!
You've started drawing me pictures, first it was snakes and then you drew "mommy and a doggy" several times in a row. Adorable.
We went to Disney World! Animal Kingdom! Gatorland! Universal Studios! Omg we had a blast. We stayed at a resort called Bonnet Creek, which also had like 5 pools. Oma and Opa came with us, we had a 3 bedroom condo. We went to TRex Cafe for your birthday, Grandma and Grandpa came too! We had so much fun, trip of a lifetime. The rides, the excitement, the food, the time together- it was as they say, "magical". You are so brave, you went on roller coasters I was even scared to go on! I think you say that Everest was your fave, but you wouldn't go a second time. You went on a ZIPLINE over ALLIGATORS! Seriously! Next time we'll try Disneyland, that will be a blast too- but maybe when you're 7.
So now about you- you are awesome. I love that you're so confident, you know you're funny, and you can be so very sweet and thoughtful. You eat great, though you could work on those veggies a little more. You sleep great. You're learning about life at an amazing pace, some of the things you say to me just completely blow me away. A while ago you asked me why the Iguanadon was called an Iguanadon, and I told you I didn't know. And you said "what do you mean you don't know, don't you have a brain in your head!?" which was actually rather rude, but I honestly don't think you meant it rude. Maybe a little smart aleky-which is ok, because as tenderhearted as you are, I want you to be able to kick ass if you need to, but seriously just the fact that you knew that knowledge is stored in the brain, brain is in the head.. whoa! It seems like yesterday when I was giggling at you calling firetrucks "weeoweeoweeo trucks" (which you now think is hilarious that you'd EVER do such a thing.
You were Optimus Prime for Halloween!
I better run my little favorite pal. Need to get back to work, and then my favorite part of the day, home to YOU! Making oven tacos tonight, they are probably your second most favorite dinner, your first is biscuits and gravy. You are also a huge fan of "green" (pesto) pasta, and of course pizza, chicken nuggets, mac n cheese, french fries, and all the typical kid stuff.
I love you MORE :)
Love, Mommy
