To my daughter ...

Dear Chloe, 

I just wanted to write you a note and let you know how much I enjoyed spending time with you this weekend. I know that it's been a bit of a roller coaster in the last few months ... what with me and Zack moving in, your Dad and I getting married and all the other adjustments you've had to undergo. We've seen flashes of your frustrations in the ever-changing environment, but overall I think you've handled it all with amazing grace ... for a four-year old! 

Anyway, this weekend there was a moment on Sunday afternoon when we found ourselves hanging out together. We laid on the bed and watched the snow falling outside. We talked ... about your boyfriend (!!!!???) Ethan, school, life in general and then sang, "Nick Nack Pattywhack" about 52 times.  Our time only lasted about 15 minutes, but in those few minutes I found myself completely overjoyed. So happy in fact, that I was forcing back some of those happy tears. 

Chloe, I hope you know how much I enjoy being a part of your life, how much I enjoy working in your classroom, and how much I love (aka melt) when you ask for a "huggie" or a "kissie." You are an independent soul and you walk to the beat of your own drum ... much more than I ever have and probably ever will ... but I see a great relationship in our future. I know we still have some adjusting to do, but I am so happy to be a part of your life. Thank you for those 15 minutes ... it meant more to me than you'll ever know. :) 

I love you ... 

Love, 
Mommy Megan
