Christopher-
     I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd written.  I had to write tonight because a little while ago you were sitting at the little desk with the laptop.  I went over to get you so you could go take a bath and I realized that you weren't actually playing a computer game, you were pulling the letter keys off of the keyboard.  You had gotten 9 of them off.  Dad is currently trying to get them back together.  Needless to say, you are grounded from the laptop for a few days.  I told dad that someday we'll think this is funny.  I couldn't find the camera or I would have taken a picture.
     Since it has been so long, how about an update?  You officially started pre-school in Ms. Allison's class at Nano Nagle at the end of August.  You're going on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  Dad takes you on Mondays and I take you and Alex on Wednesdays and Fridays.  This year started out a little rough because we were going through the separation anxiety routine in the mornings.  I asked you teacher about it and she said that quicker is better.  I think it's actually working.  You and I always drop off Alex first and then walk over to your building.  You knock on the door and when Ms. Allison lets us in we go and wash your hands, then we walk over and hang up your jacket and backpack (which is always empty) then we kiss goodbye and I leave.  You always say you don't want me to leave and you get a tiny bit weepy, but you head over to whatever Ms. Allison is doing and then you're fine the rest of the day.  I love watching you grow and learn.  You've been singing the song: "My God is so big, so strong and so might..."  It is so cute and always makes me smile, even when you're driving me crazy :)
     Still no pooping on the potty, but we'll get there someday I guess.
     You are doing better about going to bed at night and even napping.  At least I'm not stressing out about it anymore.
I love you!
