3 going on 30
Dear Ily,
You are less than a month from turning 4. I've decided to begin writing letters to you, because there are so many things I want to tell you that you just can't comprehend yet, because you're 3.
You are so smart, though! Just yesterday you were obsessing over planets. I accidentally showed you a video that went all the way through to the end of the universe, and you asked "IS EARTH GONNA COME BACK?!?" with all the concern you could muster.
That's a good question, little girl.
I hope we help keep this planet habitable for you and your future children. I hope we haven't already screwed it up too much. It's a pretty stressful thing to think about.
But I digress. The point of this is to talk to who you are as a person right now, and right now you are my beloved baby girl, even though you are totally a "big girl" and sooo independent already. You've got big feelings, big ideas, and big hair (I mean, that stuff is everywhere). You make your Mom and I so happy when you are around us, even when you are getting on our last nerve. I hope you know how much we love you.
Also, literally every toy you have has to be a mama or daddy or baby or brother or sister. Everything is about family to you. I love that. I hope you always know what it means to be a family. My dad, at this point in my life, was getting ready to leave for the first time. I wouldn't see him regularly again until I was 10. I am determined to be a better dad to you, so that you always understand what a family was meant to be.
That's all I've got for now. You are currently playing with dinos, and putting them down for naps in the living room. That is stinkin' adorable.
Love,
Daddy
