Dear Patrick

Dear Patrick,

How are you already five years old? You are growing so fast! It has really been amazing to watch you grow into such a big boy this year!

You will be starting Kindergarten soon and I am so thrilled for you. I know you will be in your element soaking in every little piece of knowledge that kindergarten has to offer! But, I am also very sad that you will be at school more days than you will be at home with me. I have just adored my time at home with you!

You have taught me so much about being a mom. You are constantly challenging me! You ask such thoughtful questions and I really have to think before answering. You are such a bright and curious little boy. You are constantly looking to learn and grow. It is one of the things I admire most about you!

Patrick, I love you so much. It has really been the greatest honor to be your mom. I am so excited to see everything that God has planned for you this year.

I love you to the moon and back,

Mom
