Dear Gabriel,
It's true. Mom's really do feel emotional and cry on the first day of dropping off your kid at school.
I know because I did that with you this morning.
We have always been big homeschooling supporters. We homeschooled last year and I plan on homeschooling in the future. But when you were accepted into Montessori, it just felt so right for you to go to this school.
I think for a few reasons... Because we know we need to have another baby and (let's get real) no schooling is going to happen once I get pregnant. Keeping up with regular stuff will be the max I can handle. Another reason is because you are ready, and the Lord wants you to have this experience. Another reason is because this is an excellent school and your mind is just entering into a space where you can't soak up enough.
I have a feeling in my gut that during the younger years all you kids will go to the Montessori, then we are going to join the TJEd Co-op. We will see what the future brings.
When I dropped you off I cried on my way out of the parking lot. You are my first baby! I can't believe you are growing like this. You are such an amazing kid. Your mind is phenomenal. Your dad gave you a blessing last night. It told you in the blessing that in the pre-existence you dedicated yourself to learning so much that you have an extra ordinary ability to learn in this life because of the gifts you developed and because of the mission you have on earth. He told you to harness that gift because of what the Lords wants of you.
I asked your dad what he saw when he was giving you your blessing, and he said, "Andrea, He is one REALLY special kid."
It's true. You are already on a 2nd grade reading level. You are 6, going to be 7 in October. Your creations with what you build are extravagent, much more advanced than your age. I am excited to see how you develop!
I love you so much. My heart hurts to let you go, but it is so excited as well. My boy! My amazing boy.
I love you,
Your Mom
