Dear Kate,
I can't believe you finally get to go to Kindergarten tomorrow! I know you are nervous and excited at the same time, and I just want you to know that your day will be great! You are worried about making new friends and have asked at least two kids in our neighborhood to sit by you on the bus. I know that you will be just as brave to go to school as you were when you let dad pull out your first tooth, without even shedding a tear. You got this! Especially after finding out that your teacher is Miss Bobetsky. Ever since Kindergarten round up last spring all you have talked about is having her for your teacher, and your wish came true.
We laid out your outfit for tomorrow and you carefully folded your pile on the floor and prepped your shoes' laces, so you can wake up and get yourself ready for the day. I love that you are so independent.
I am going to miss you helping me with Ryan every day and being my little side kick. But I know you are going to have so much fun! I hope you have fun writing your name on your first assignment, and hope that you love the structure of a full day of learning. I hope you make sweet friends and enjoy playing with the friends you already have made. I will be anxiously waiting for you to get off the bus and am excited to hear all about your first day.
I love you so much!
Mom
