Papa,

You fell asleep last night around 9:30pm which was early for you as you have been sleeping pretty late around 11:30-12ish.

Today I took your Pre-K paperwork to school and they said you could start today. Your tia Nena said it was full and you will start next fall, your mom thought you would start in a month but I knew you were going to start this week but you started today 1-7-18.

Your teacher said say bye to papa and you did, you gave me a kiss and that was it. I was kicked out of your class and didn’t know what to do with myself. I called your mom and she was freaking out but it was good. I’m glad I didn’t have time to think or anything because it allowed me to be in the moment.

Z I love you and I’m proud of you. You did well in school today and I’m just proud of you. You are growing up and I’m just happy to be your daddy. I walked into the class and seen you cuddling with your teacher and then you saw me and ran towards me yelling “daddy”. I’m glad I didn’t get emotional because I really wanted to shed a tear but I know in my heart I couldn’t as this was a happy “dad moment” and I need to get used to this.

Anyways Z be good to your classmates and to your teacher. Find your voice and let everyone hear you roarrrrrr.

Love Daddy,
