Your mind is always working! The wheels are always turning! Jace you are an engineer, but more than that, you are an inventor. You have a curious mind. A beautiful mind. A mind that seeks truth, that seeks understanding, that seeks to figure out how things work.
You went to the museum today on a field trip with Grandma. The main point was to look at dinosaurs and the planets, units of study in preschool, but your happiest pictures are when you are engaged in an experiment or figuring out how things work.
These pictures are at a water station. I just wonder what your brain was thinking.
Your best exhibit though, was apparently the "gears." You told me about them on the phone, you told me about them when I got home from work, and then Grandma sent me the pic and told me you could have stayed there forever and you had it all figured out.
You're an amazing boy Jace. Your temper and anger sometimes scare me, and I worry I won't be able to help you channel your brilliance into an outlet that suits you, but I promise I will try.
You're a good boy Jace. You have a good heart. When I come home you give me at least 20 kisses on my cheek to let me know how loved and missed I was. At four, I think it's hard for a child to make their parent feel special, but you make me feel that way, and that is a special gift.
Jace the sky is the limit for you. The only thing that I see getting in your way is you. I know that because you remind me of me. I was my worst enemy. Believe in yourself Jace. Give yourself permission to make mistakes because you realize making mistakes is how you learn and adjust.
If you can do that, you can and will literally be anything and anyone your heart desires. Just don't forget to kiss me hello and goodbye.
Love,
Mom
