Dear Holly,

This has been a special week for you at school. Tonight it was the “Wild About Learning” event, where us parents were invited inside the classroom to see what our kids have been learning this year.

And all week long, the Book Fair has been going on. Both Aunt Dana and Nonna have been volunteering there- and of course, your cousin Darla is already in your class. Plus, Mommy will be volunteering tomorrow. So it has been a bit of a family reunion at school.

The first day, you were so excited as you came home from school and showed me what all you got from the Book Fair. I mentioned to you, “I don’t see any actual books… Mommy gave you money to buy all that?”

You immediately smiled: “Nonna bought it for me!”

Of course. That makes a lot more sense.

Love,

Daddy
