To my son Tommy,
Thursdays are my usual day to make sure you get to school. This morning yielded some memorable moments and quips that I thought I'd share for posterity.
When your Mickey Mouse Clubhouse alarm went off and I came dancing in your room to get you for some cuddle time, you said, "You're too happy and it's too early"
When we made sure you had your lunch box in your backpack and opened it to check to see what you had to eat for lunch, you said, "Hey I don't see any cheetos. That's not right. Can you make sure there are some cheetos in there?"
When I told you to jump on up into the backseat of the truck so I could get you in your car seat, you said, "No daddy, it is a truck seat."
When I pulled up into St Agnes parking lot and was waiting our turn to get up to the old school where traditionally the younger kids are let out, you asked, "Can I get out here and walk over to my school just like the big kids do?"
You are growing up so fast. I let you out and you shouldered your backpack and started walking. Your teacher was walking across the lot too, so she motioned you over and you joined her for your big boy stroll. But I still inched up the line watching out of my truck window till you got close to your building, just like I will the next time and the time after that. You may be growing up fast but you are still my baby boy.
Sincerely with love from your dad,
Leo
