Dear William (61 months)

Dear William,

The big news this month is: K I N D E R G A R T E N.

It has been kind of a rough transition.  There has been some crying.  I honestly hadn’t expected it to be that hard.  But overall, you are happy and excited to go to school everyday, and you are making lots of friends. 

Normally you ride your own bike to school, but sometimes, you persuade Daddy to take you on the new Surly.

Big Dummy

Your biggest concern with kindergarten (aside from the fact that they don’t give you a snack in between second breakfast and lunch) is that you don't have enough time to play with your Legos anymore.  We try to make sure that you get your Lego play-time in during the weekends and afternoons.

We’ve gone to a lot of Fort Collins festivals this month, such as the Peach Fest, where Daddy placed 7th in a 5K and won a non-vegan peach pie that we gave to our college student neighbors.

After the race you had fun playing in some bounce houses:

And going down a really big slide:

We also went to something called New West Fest, which I think was supposed to be about music, but we were just there for the rides and super heroes.

Tour de Fat was this month too.  We didn’t ride in it, we just watched the parade, but we are already planning our costumes for next year.

You went to your first USA Pro Challenge Bike Race in Denver.  You and mommy dressed alike.

 You went for a hike with me up Horsetooth Falls on my birthday!  We didn’t see any rattlesnakes or anything.

 You enjoyed a few nights out on the town  with the family.

You also enjoyed some nights in, cuddling with your bear (who used to be my bear) Corduroy.

You kept enjoying blue skies and mountains.

Many more adventures await.

I can't believe William is in kindergarten! (even though I know it was a big part of the reason for the timing of your move) It makes me want to put a brick on Liam's head or wrap him in bubble wrap or something (less creepy than those options) to keep him little. All of your adventures look amazing!
