Super Teachers

Dear Connor,

You told me today, "My teachers have superpowers to make the whole day fun." That they do!

Love,
Mom

Feeling Blue

Dear Connor,

Today was not your best day. First of all, you woke up with nine mosquito bites all over your face and neck. In December. (It's been that warm.) Second of all, when we were unpacking Christmas ornaments to put on the tree, we discovered that your personalized snowman ornament had broken. When you saw it, you said, "Aww, Sadness is pushing my button right now." (A reference to the movie Inside Out). Sorry, bud.

Love,
Mom

Pick-Up Mix-Up

Dear Connor,

This afternoon, I left the house around 1:50pm to walk to your school and pick you up. I called Uncle Tony and chatted with him on the way. I arrived at the school and wondered why it was so deserted--where were all the other parents and nannies who were usually milling about in front of the building right before dismissal? Was I early? Wait, oh my god, yes, yes I was early--for your sister's 2:45pm dismissal. While talking to Uncle Tony, I had absentmindedly walked to MuiMui's school instead of yours!

Fortunately, your schools are less than five minutes away from each other so once I realized my error, I was able to run over to your school and still get there before your class filed out onto the playground. Ugh, mommy brain!

Love,
Mom

Boxing Day

Dear Connor,

How do I explain the "sport" of boxing to you when I am always telling you how wrong it is to hit people??

Love,
Mom
