Dear Adam
Four. Years. Old.
Holy. Cow.
Where is the time going? Just yesterday you needed me all the time. To eat, to dress, to sleep.
Now, every day, you need me a little less.
Oh you still need me. For one thing, you are not getting the potty very well yet. So you need a lot of cleaning.
And you can’t exactly cook. But you certainly feed yourself.
And you’re starting school. In preschool right now, but gearing up for P1 in September. And you are rapidly learning your numbers and letters.
We had your ‘meet and greet our new friends and teacher’ day at school last week. You headed right in without a backwards glance. Not even a wave.
I expect you’ll do the same in September.
There have been some issues with you and social interaction and communication. The word autism has been used. But we have decided to not get your diagnosed yet. You are being assessed for extra help in the classroom, which hopefully you’ll get.
You have two best friends at school now, who you do everything with, L and C. They will both be in P1 with you, so that’ll be fun!
Your very first birthday party was this past Saturday. It was so much fun watching you with your friends in our back garden. Maybe we’ll do it again next year.
Keep growing my son.
Love
Mummy
