{I’m so excited to be starting this monthly project with several other mothers and photographers who have collaborated to write letters to their children each month. My hope is that when my children are older they will appreciate the time I took to document their childhood. To follow the circle and read the other letters, just click the link to the next photographer at the end of this post!}
We have had some big changes around our house in the last couple of weeks and I am loving it. There is a bit of a competitive spirit between you two, and it can work out in my favor from time to time. M, you decided one day that you could sound out enough letters and just jumped into reading. E, you resisted reading. You stomped your feet and cried. A lot. I wondered if you would ever learn to read & love it. But when you saw M reading Dr Seuss, you decided you could too. And faster. I am so proud of you both. I love our nights full of Junie B Jones chapter books. I love driving across town while you read & share books in the back of the minivan. I hope this love of reading follows you throughout your life and your nights are always filled with "just one more page" of an amazing book.
