Today was a long day.  For you, long days sometimes mean a lot of ups and downs.  Luckily for us, we know a lot of tricks to get you back up after a down.

We started the day with a garage sale and you sold doughnuts and made some money,  that was an up ( you love money).  Then your big brother pretended to slobber on your shoulder and that was a big down.   Your Daddy quickly wrestled you and brought you back from crying about the almost slobber incident.   At dinner you and your little brother both got balloon animals, You got a wiener dog and Adam got a baby tiger.  That was an up, until, almost immediately yours came untied and morphed into some weird weiner dog snake.  It was almost a big down, but then baby brother bit into his baby tiger, popped it with his teeth and started laughing.  This sent you into near hysterics and made you forget about your creepy snake dog.  We ended the night with you falling asleep with your Dad while desperately trying to see a meteor from tonight’s meteor shower out the window. You did not see one, so I already know I am going to hear about it in the morning.  Luckily, I think pancakes and bacon might fix it.

I worry a lot about you in school and I hate not knowing who, or if someone will bring you up from your downs there at class.  I wish I could send you to school with an earpiece to whisper funny stuff to you when you get sad, but instead, I promise to be ready with fresh material to make you smile and laugh at pick up.
