Dear Olivia,
I want you to know that your happiness and well being are my number one goals as your parent.
I want nothing but the best life for you. The path of least resistance. A childhood
full of confidence, innocence and simplicity.
With that being said, your father and I think it's best you repeat kindergarten.
I have stewed over this for 9 months. And I am trusting my gut. You don't seam ready to me. I was more ready for you to move on to first than I think you were. But I need to follow my motherly instincts and have to stay put in kindergarten.
I know it will be hard to see your friends move on. It breaks my heart too. But you are gifted with the quality to meet new friends very easily.
You are going to have a great year. I can just feel it. No tears after school this year over reading pressure. No tears as you always felt last to finish papers. You were the youngest in your class coming from a play based preschool. It was tough. I know that. But you did your best!
This is YOUR year, sweetheart! I can just feel it!
Go get 'em!
Show them what you're made of. A little girl full of happiness and confidence who has a mother behind her 100% of the way! And always...
Love,
Mom
