My sweet boy,

I had therapy today. I was told that I pretty much need to treat myself the way I parent you guys, but that’s a tough change. I will try and work on it, but there’s a lot to work on and work through at the moment.

Elijah “graduates” Pre-K tomorrow night. I can’t believe next year all my kids will be in school. However, kindergarten here is only half day so it won’t be “full time”.

Ellie will be in middle school, you’d be in fourth grade, Lucas will be in second, and Elijah in kindergarten. Adults always said how fast time goes when you get older and I can definitely see why they say that. In July, Lucas will already hit eight years old and be the age that you lived to be.

I’m not sure how I should be handling this. I’m about eighteen days away from that year mark. Maybe you could teach me what to do. I love you more than anything, baby. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
