Dear Kaitlynn,
Tomorrow is your last day of Kindergarten. There are not enough words to tell you how proud I am of you. I can count on one hand the amount of days you missed. It would take more than my fingers and toes to count all the compliments I received about you this year. Your teacher Mrs. Skeen and her aid Mrs. Kiker they could not say enough nice things about you.
Every Friday I would check your backpack and find hoards of art work, math, spelling and projects you had done. I believe my favorite it is when you would draw pictures of our family and the most recent ones included pictures of Cami.
This year was a long road for you and me. The days I would want to cry because you wanted to stay home, like Jack, and I wouldn't let you. Or you would want to know why 'So and So's' mom did this and why didn't I do that. I would hate it knowing you went to bed early getting 9 or 10 hours of sleep and in the morning begging me to let you sleep longer and I had to force you out of bed. On the few days daddy was able to take you to school you would break his heart. He would have given anything for the two of you to play hookie and go fishing.
Well my dear all of your hard work paid off. You will be going off to the first grade. Not only that, but all of the skills needed to complete kindergarten and move on you completed in March. You are one smart little cookie. You can read and write and you can even add. You took computer class and Spanish class. I can tell you I didn't do those things in kindergarten.
So as you start your first official summer break I wish you lots of mornings of sleeping in, nights you get to stay up late, trips to the park, swimming at the rec center and even an occasional trip to the library. I know the library sounds kind of boring but you and Jack have more books than almost all of your toys combined.
Lucky for you your first official day of summer break is my day off so maybe, just maybe, we won't even get out of our pj's that day. I have said this before and it will always be true you are my greatest joy and I can not wait to find fun things to do on your summer break.
Hugs and kisses~
Love, Mom
TTFN~
