First Kiss

Dear Sawyer,

Cute things you did recently:

-Aunt Sarin, Uncle Austin and Julietta came over to visit last weekend. A few minutes after they came in and we exchanged hellos and hugs, I realized you were nowhere to be found. I went into your room and called out for you. You responded and I heard your voice come out from under your bed! I asked you what you were doing under there and you said, "I don't want to see them!" I eventually convinced you to come out and join everyone in JieJie's room, where JieJie and Julietta were playing, but you hid behind me the entire time and refused to talk to anyone other than me. You are a very social, friendly guy but you can still be incredibly shy sometimes.

-You were playing in my closet and came out and told me, "I was in the cave! I found jewelry for you!" I said, "Wow! Did you find diamonds for me?" You replied, "Yes! I got you diamonds and rectangles and all the shapes!" Haha!

-We went to your BFF Mila's birthday party yesterday and you and Mila were so happy to see each other again! Her parents told us that you were the only party guest she cared about coming. Another one of your nursery school classmates, Ella, was also at the party and her parents told us that when they were driving over, Ella said, "I hope Sawyer is going to be at the party. He and Mila are best friends." You and Mila have such a sweet friendship! At one point during the party, the two of you even kissed on the lips and GuhGaw came running over to tell the adults (he left out the part about him actually being the one who goaded you two to kiss in the first place). Later, Mila's mom asked you, "Hey, did you kiss my daughter?" You looked at her matter-of-factly, "Yes. Because I love her." How cute is that? And you're such a gentleman, too. At the end of the party, you and Mila climbed onto an ATV that was parked in the backyard. You had so much fun pretending to drive it and when I said it was time to go, you climbed off first and then turned back to hold Mila's hand and help her step down. At home, I told you that I noticed you do that and you said, "Yeah, because I know she was wearing a long dress." So sweet!

Love,
Mom
