Dear Liam,
You started second grade earlier this week. Um, what? Excuse me?! You can't possibly be in second grade! I'm not old enough to have a second grader! I swear you've grown even taller over the summer. You're just an amazing little guy, and I know you're going to have a great year. I was a little disappointed for you when I saw the class lists. I really only recognized the name of one other boy in your class. Almost all your friends are all together in one of the other classrooms. You seemed a little sad about it, but not too bad. I think you'll be fine, and you'll make awesome new friends. You'll still get to see your old friends at recess and extended day. I know it will all be okay.
You're playing second season baseball this year for the first time. It's pretty laidback, and the scoreboard isn't even used. It's really just more for fun, and to keep working on your baseball skills. Your friends Duncan and Quincy are both on your team, so I know that you guys are having a great time together. You've already made some great catches and had some great hits. Soccer will start in a few weeks, and I know that you're really looking forward to that too.
This is the first year that it seems like you've really cared about some of the clothes that you're wearing for school. You had to have high top shoes, and tall socks. You also picked out some crazy neon yellow UnderArmour sneakers. You definitely like your shiny basketball shorts more than your others. I used to just lay out your clothes each night for the next day, but now you sometimes will change out some of the clothes for something else if you didn't like what I picked.
You are really becoming your own person, and it's amazing to see. I love seeing you grow and change every day. I love you so much.
Love,
Mommy
