Today, you went to daycare for the first time. I forgot the name of the place but it's a great place. It's on the same lot as a hospital, so it's one less thing that we have to worry about.
I wish I was there to be with your mother as she dropped you off. No matter what it would have been hard to do. Your mother cried and I'm sure I would have too.
I know it's only daycare but at some point I know it would have felt as if we were dropping you off for your first day at school. What seems years away already feels like it is right around the corner.
But before we get to meet your first kindergarten teacher(mine was Miss English), I look forward to other "firsts" that are a lot closer.
--Your First Step. You're not far from that now. Your legs are quite strong and you like to stand more than sit. I wouldn't doubt you bypass crawling.
--Your First Tooth. We have a teething ring that you like to drool all over. Each time I give it to you I can see you trying to bite it.
--Your First Word. This is definitely going to happen really soon. Sometimes I think I've already heard you say, "Mom." But it could be my overactive imagination and all you're really just saying is "MMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH." Close enough.
--Your First Bite of Real Food. I suggested "Strained Jalepenos" but your mother is definitely against that. No matter what, sooner or later you will find out very quickly that we Rios' love our food spicy because it's in our blood.
--Your First Spanking. Just kidding. :)
--Your First Birthday. I can already envision it. One candle on a birthday cake and your face is all covered in frosting.
Gosh.
You're three months old and I feel like you are ready to go off to college tomorrow.
I'm kind of glad you are not off to college yet. We got a lot of years of "firsts" ahead of us before I have to worry about that.
Miss you.
Love.
Dad.
