It's been an amazing year for you. Tonight at bedtime you asked if we could sit together and talk about what's happened in the last year. So Zach, you, and I did. And we came up with quite a list. Here's most of what I can remember:
You turned six
You celebrated your sixth birthday with family, friends, and classmates (you remembered that I brought cupcakes to school after your reading buddy time and we both remembered that I made a really good cream cheese frosting for those cupcakes).
You finished kindergarten
You went to your first day camp (Kids for the Bay)
We went to Berkeley Tuolumne Camp (and you became a Tuolumne Ranger)
You went to your second day camp (Ha Ha Thisaway)
We backpacked to Angel Island and you climbed to the top again
We spent a week on the beach in Santa Monica
You started First Grade at a brand new school
You met your new neighborhood buddy Francesca
Your grandparents moved in next door
You went to Yosemite for the first time
Your first first cousin was born
You learned to read. I mean really read and enjoy the world of chapter books and staying up late with a flashlight under your covers.
You learned to ski
And, I would add: your mother quit her job.
It's been quite a year. I can't wait to see what you get into as a seven year old!
