One Week in the Books

Big Boy-

What a great first week of school! You were a little tentative on Monday morning but by Tuesday you were an old pro at this Kindergarten thing. “Do you want me to walk you to your class?” asked your Mom. “No, you can drop me off here,” you replied. You are growing up so fast.

I'm so proud of you. Your new teacher says you are doing great and a pleasure to have in her class. Attaboy!

Keep it up kiddo. Big smile from Daddy.

I'll be there when you get in a rut, that's the beauty of livin' my life. Hold on baby, I'm taking you back to school.

Tomorrow you start kindergarten big boy. Wow... I can't believe this day is here already. I am so amazingly proud of you and I just know you are going to shine like the star that you are. Sure I'm biased, you're my son after all, but I sense a difference in you from other kids your age. A wisdom so far beyond your years. Continue to cultivate that and you'll write your own ticket in this world.

Study hard, dare to ask “why?”, and never, never accept the world the way someone else tells you it should be. You can have it all.

I love you boy. Knuckles.
-Daddy

Random Awesome Moment

Both boys absolutely rocking in the backseat to the Aquabats' “Martian Girl”. Seth singing along to every word and nailing the “Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohs”. Epic.

The king of all of the world

Seth's Spanish class was choosing each kid's Spanish name last week. Seth was advised that since his name started with the letter “Esse” that he should pick a name that starts with that. His response?

“I'll take Esse.”

He's Esse.
