A Letter to My Favorite 5th Grader

Dear son,

Just because you roll your eyes and moan...
I am not putting away the camera.

Just because I try to act all cool and calm...
Does not mean I don't have first day butterflies as I drive away.

Just because I say I'll miss you...
Don't think I didn't do a happy dance in my empty quiet house.

Just because you are almost as tall as me...
Don't forget that you will always be my baby.

My food-inhaling, game-playing, milk-guzzling, freckled-faced, lanky baby giraffe.



Love,
Mommy

Aw! Very nice.

I love the picture of your boy. He is really growing up fast!
