My dearest Sophia (favorite nicknames this year: Monkey, Sweet Pea, Bug)
Happy sixth birthday!
Your kindergarten year at CKH has gone quickly. You continue to thrive at school with Ms. Steph for a second year, and you take delight in reading words on signs as we drive, or reading books that you know most of the words for. You have had good friendships with your classmates (Olivia and Monique to name a few), and I pray you find good ones next year as you head to 1st grade in a new school.
You love to pack your backpack for the next travel adventure, packing the essentials like dolls and coloring books. You love playing car games like twenty questions, and ask for jokes at every opportunity. All things that were helpful as we drove from San Francisco to Seattle this past summer.
You started dance and swim lessons this year at the Y, and would sign up for something every night, if you set the schedule. You continue in your “all of the above” approach to life.
You love to bake, and I can’t wait to spend more time with you in the kitchen making new creations.
You love time with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
You continue to have vision in most situations, and we are trying our best to equip you with the tools to be flexible, handle big emotions, and harness as much of your core awesomeness that we love so much.
You fiercely loved baby A for the year she was in our home, and told your mother you never want to stop fostering when she left. You are resilient, thoughtful, and big hearted.
These days you want to help “guide” Jason whenever possible. I have no doubt you will be a great parent one day, for now your mother and I will try our best to help you enjoy your kid days as much as possible.
You love going to church, Awana, and VBS. You love to talk, learn and ask questions about God and Jesus. And we can’t wait to see where God will bring you with your love of Him and His people.
Have a great seventh year, as the sixth was full of playing and reading.
Love,
Dad
