Dear J-Joy,
You have one of the biggest smiles, full of bright white teeth, that you flash on a regular basis, often while jumping up and down as you run off to grab your favorite stuffed animal, blanket, and/or tutu dress.
You often spin around the house declaring that you are a princess and asking if we like your unicorn headband. My prayer is that you internalize that you are beautiful regardless of the accessories, or the color of your dresses.
This year you have friends at preschool, and have transitioned well between two different teachers at school. Ms. Molly said that you are a “friend to everyone in the classroom”.
You continue to want to help whenever possible in the kitchen, and will not turn down a chance to be chased.
It has been very sweet to watch your relationship developing with Sophia. I hope that only deepens this year.
You continue to be the best eater in the house, the other night polishing off 4 big tacos while the adults only finished two. And you have started to be a backseat driver, and freely share your opinion with your mother and I if you think we are driving too fast or too slow.
Sometimes when we give you a “no” answer, you say “ok later” as you are certain about what you want.
You welcome an opportunity to say the Pledge of Allegiance, and sing the “The Grand Old Flag,” that you learned at school this year.
We love you so much, and hope that you continue to grow in the frequency that you defer to your younger brother taking a turn, or riding in the middle row in the car. You are a born leader, but every once in a while it means leading from the back. We cherish those rare moments that you are still enough to snuggle.
Love,
Daddy
