No Dessert

Dear Connor,

We went to a restaurant for lunch yesterday that only accepts cash and when we finished eating, you asked if you could pick out a dessert. I told you that you couldn't because Daddy didn't have enough money. Shocked, you gasped and asked, "Did Daddy stop going to work?!" Haha!

Love,
Mom

Free Toys

Dear Connor,

Daddy: Connor, I'm not going to spend anymore money on toys for you.
You: That's okay, I'll just get them from Santa for free.

Love,
Mom

Cooking Like Mommy

Dear Connor,

When you were helping me cook dinner tonight, you told me that you love cooking. So I said that you could be a chef when you grow up and you replied, "No, I want to be a mommy and cook like you."

Love,
Mom

Kindergarten Graduation

Dear Connor,

Congratulations, kindergarten graduate!



I am so proud of and impressed with how much you learned this year. Your reading, writing and math skills improved a lot, you did so well on your tests (97-100% on most of them!) and you always came home with so many fun facts to share. I loved reading all of the creative stories you wrote in school and seeing the cool drawings you made to accompany them. And I am also very proud of how hard you worked on your homework every day and that by the end of the year, you were able to complete all of it correctly with minimal help from me. Awesome job!

Love,
Mom

Sweet and Simple

Dear Connor,

We went to a bakery yesterday and they had so many interesting options, such as chocolate chip banana bread and red velvet Nutella cookies. There were also chocolate eclairs and butterscotch puddings and raspberry cheesecakes. I let you and MuiMui pick whatever you wanted and you both chose . . . vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting. So boring classic!

Love,
Mom

Big Bro's Got Your Back

Dear Connor,

We went to a playground today and it had a section for babies and smaller kids with gentler water jets. However, these bigger 8-year-olds kept running into the section to use the water jets to fill up their water guns. DiDi was waving his hand through a water jet and a big kid hovered over him and tried to angle his way in so he could get to the jet. He got annoyed when DiDi kept playing with the jet and said, "Stop it!" You immediately jumped to your baby brother's defense and yelled at the boy, "You stop it! That's my brother!" The big kid angrily ran away and you shook your head and said, "Oh my god, so mean." I'm so proud of you for having DiDi's back!

Love,
Mom

Closet Capades

Dear Connor,

This morning, I woke up not to the peaceful sound of birds chirping or the soothing song on my alarm clock but to the panicked cries and screams of my two older children. You and MuiMui had managed to lock yourselves inside her closet and were freaking out. When I opened the door for you, you both spilled out with eyes and cheeks a-stained with tears. Oh my god, you two!

Love,
Mom
