Dear Hazie, A couple of weeks ago I took pictures for a local preschool. The kids were all super cute and you got to come alone with me and play. You've loved it. You're ready for a little preschool, but I am not ready to let you go a few hours a week yet. Anyway, you integrated into each room as if you attended every day and the kids were your best friends. Every so often, just in case I forgot you would come stand in front of a kid I was trying to get a picture of...and a couple of times while my hand was fixing a child's hair or adjusting a shirt you jumped between us an said, "My mom! MINE!" or you'd stand behind me and wrap your little boa constrictor arms around my neck while I took shots of the kids. You even pushed a girl sternly looking them in the eye repeating, "MINE, MINE! MY mommy." I am not one of those parents who views my children as possessions but for these moments I felt pretty grateful you were feeling possessive of me.
Love, Mama
