Oh Monkey! You are a smart, smart-ass kid that I love in ways I can’t express. You drive me bonkers. I make you mad. We snuggle just right. I suppose it’s as it should be.
My wish for you in this coming year is for you to embrace creativity and let your mind explore. Be it through art, through building, through reading, or through coming up with your own experiments. I hope you continue being curious; continue being athletic; continue loving math, and get bitten by a reading bug. Above all I hope you are healthy.
Love ya, G!
