This Summer I Promise...


This summer...I promise to let you be a kid...to let you sleep in until you naturally awaken, to let you watch cartoons until your hearts content, to let you eat popsicles for breakfast, to let you swim in the pool until your fingers and toes turn to raisins...


...to let you wear your funny swim fins and goggles to neighborhood pools and friends houses, to play with you in the pool rather than just relax and lay out/read a book/text on my phone/talk with my friends...I promise to take you to lots of parks, to let you play in the sandbox no matter how dirty you get, to go on nature walks with you...


...I promise to let you wear pajamas all day, or run around in just your underwear, to let you get the playroom as messy as you want without making you clean it up each day, to let you paint and play with play-doh, to do crafts with you, to let you play in the sprinklers in your clothes, to take you on surprise trips to get snowcones, ice cream, or to see a movie...


...I promise to be silly with you, laugh with you, turn up the music and dance with you, build you sheet forts in the dining room, bake cookies and brownies with you and let you lick the bowl and spoons, I promise to play board games with you and let you pick the game, to let you make pallets in my room to have a slumber party, to catch fireflies in a jar with you, to take you on fun field trips....


...to let you invite friends over to play or walk you down to a neighborhood friends house just to say hello, I promise to make you lots of Kool-Aid in all different flavors, to let you play outside until it gets dark, to let you play on the Wii, the DS, and the computer and to play on these things with you...

I promise to let you be a kid, to soak up your summer, to delight in all things you love to do...I promise this because I know these days go by fast...and I want you to enjoy the WONDER!!!!
