Hi Z,

Right now you’re asleep next to mommy and I’m in your room watching TV. I just wanted to say I love you and I appreciate you. You’re growing so much and changing so much that I appreciate all of the hard work and patience that you have had. It’s crazy because a year ago you were not talking. We communicated by pointing and some sign language. I was worried I was scared but I never expressed it because I knew when this day would come you were gonna go all out and you have. I think damn it was “easier” when he didn’t talk but because you’re so bossy and tell us to be quiet. But anyhow Z you are doing an amazing job and you kind of like school but it’s weird. You don’t like getting ready to go to school and don’t like it when I drop you off but you have fun and when I pick you up you have stuff all over your face,hair and clothes and say “no I don’t wanna go home daddy”. I laugh and pick you up and get a hug and a kiss.

I don’t know what I did here so sorry that I messed it up.

All in all Z you’re doing amazing and are growing so much. We had Valentine’s Day and you made cards, gave out candy and snacks. We went to Stockton and hung out with the family and even got to hang out with papa Mikes family which was cool because they never get to see you.

Okay Z I’ll write you again soon. Love you with all of my heart papa!
