Dear Isabella,
You are fast asleep, after numerous promises from mommy that I will check on you before I go to bed. You are worried I will be lonely tomorrow without you. You have told me you are going to miss me so much tomorrow. You do not want to go to kindergarten.
But tomorrow is going to be amazing, my girl. You are so brilliant and funny and kind. You will charm your teacher and make a bunch of new friends. You will paint, draw, color, learn to read, learn to be more independent.
I know tomorrow is going to be hard for you, lovey. It is going to be hard for mommy, too. But we have to be brave. I will be with you and you will be with me. We are never apart, you and me. You are my heart.
I am so excited to see your face after school and hear all about your big day. Where you sat, which friend you made, if you read any stories. I will have a big hug and kiss ready for you when you run out the door to me.
This is a big day. For us both. You are my first baby. You made me a mommy. And now here we are, 5.5 years later. The BIG DAY. Kindergarten. Let's make school fun.
I promise not to cry until I get back in the car.
I love you, baby girl. To the moon and back.
Love, mommy
