To Adelaide,
You're sitting in your first day of Kindergarten right now, most likely learning something that was a part of my third-grade curriculum. I didn't see giant inflatable letters in your room, but l did see lots of interesting books and enough supplies and oddities to inspire an episode of Hoarders.
You are a brave, spirited girl and I think you're going to love this year at school. I'm most looking forward to you learning new ways to express yourself- through words, music and art. Mommy and I are proud of you and we'll enjoy this year with you. Julius is probably going to miss having his play buddy around during the day, but we all know Mommy is his current favorite anyway so maybe he'll find this new alone time as a little perk.
I hope you enjoy your napkin note (link coming soon), it felt like the perfect picture for you.
To Heidi,
Judes, I'm intensely grateful for you today. You have poured an immense amount of love and care into Adelaide over the past six years and have helped prepare her for such a time as this. She is a passionate soul and maybe the strongest-willed of the bunch, but you've helped her find her way and have given her voice in the shadow of her big brother.
I could not imagine a greater mother for her, and I am so proud of your relentless commitment to our family.
It's the end of the world as she knows it,
and she feels fine.
