Dear Maia,
Today in Pre-K, your participated in a nature scavenger hunt with your classmates.
Your teacher told me that you "rocked it.". Not only did you have fun, but you made sure you had Every. Item. On. That. List. Even the "hard" ones that no one was finding. You waived your teacher off "Yeah, I already got that one." And you helped your friends find theirs too.
I'm not proud of you because you found them all. I'm proud of you because you were driven, determined and confident. I want those feelings for you every day. Some days you don't have those feelings locked in, and it breaks my heart to watch you struggle through dark days. But oh how I rejoice when you find your way through to the other side. Happy and self assured.
My scavenger hunt for you? Find:
- courage
- grace
- determination
- patience
- empathy
- confidence
- joy
Let's all keep looking together, okay?
Love,
Mommy
