Dearest Aspen Michael,
You’re lucky #7 today sweet boy! Time has flown and you’ve grown so much in so many ways. The maturity & overall awareness for life has been one of the greatest joys of my life to watch.
Your Kindergarten year is almost complete which makes you a “rising” first grader. Somehow that makes you sound sooo old. You’ve worked tirelessly this year to adjust and adapt to new learning styles & have truly made so much progress academically. You love math and are a whiz at your addition & subtraction flash cards. Your reading & writing is moving along nicely. You can often be found reading books in bed for hours.
You played in your first two tennis tournaments and beamed with pride through them. You won some matches and you lost some matches. But most importantly you overcame adversity & controlled your emotions. Orange ball has been a great stepping stone for your tennis game development.
You continue to work hard at overcoming your emotions and controlling your impulses. You have learned many techniques to help you & I couldn’t be more proud of how you’re handling yourself.
You have flourished in making friends and socially growing this year. You’re always inclusive & happy to smile at all around you. Your joy for life is contagious & your hugs can heal the soul.
You still love spending time with your mommy; often just hanging next to me & holding my hand. I will cherish those days always.
I love you!
Love,
Mommy
