K – my heart be still – you are the most beautiful kindergartener.

And now you have your first loose tooth.

I mean, I’m not even sure exactly when it happened…

It was like you went to Pop and Gammies to spend the night, came home, turned to me at the dinner table, and said, “look at my tooth, Dad!”

Mom wanted me to title this post wiggly tooth because that’s what you keep calling it, your “wiggly tooth.”

You are loved.

With every milestone, I feel like my heart could just burst with pride, nostalgia, and the ache of time passing.

More firsts, please.

I love you.

-Dad

H, I enjoyed helping you with your homework tonight.

You are doing this book report and I sat with you tonight on the bedroom floor encouraging you – and showing you how to – take notes as you read.

You fought me a little on it.

But I enjoyed the moment.

Both of us in our pajamas listening to each other read.

I love you.

-Dad
