email to a mommy friend...

hey pam - thanks for your message. Congrats on starting preschool- a big step, I know. Sophie's first day is this Thursday and of course I have mixed feelings about it. What mother wouldn't? Sad and excited, nervous and confident too about starting her now instead of in the fall. I only hope we have chosen a school that she does well in, and looks forward to going. We will see...

I am very sad though that Kaity and yourself will not be at Rinaldi mommy and me class anymore. It seemed very empty without you two there this last Friday- and Julie and Alice were not there either. To me, it is mostly about seeing you guys- and soph seeing amber, kait and sophia. With preschool starting I can't see us really doing Fridays at Rinaldi beyond May, if that long.


I will have Rachel consistently those Fridays though, so I plan to do special things with just my girl- the zoo, kidspace, hansen dam park, etc. Maybe if you guys decide to play hooky once in a while on Friday mornings you can join us.

I know you have mentioned too not continuing kindermusik beyond this session. I really hope that we can make an effort to continue our friendship outside of these staples where it is easy to meet up. Kait is just so sweet and funny and clever, and I think her energy brings a lot to Sophie's 'life with friends.' And William too you know I adore and hope he and Alex will get to be little pals. It is hard to have energy for stuff outside of the family just working part-time, and I know that working full time and managing your life is really a handful.

Anyway, not to be too icky and sentimental, I think you get my point. Let's have a playdate soon, yes?

Have a good week-Julie
