Dear Jon:
Your infatuation with the opposite sex is very clear. I already see all sorts of headaches for Daddy and me when you become a teenager. Here are some examples.
Once in a while, Daddy tries to watch the national evening news. The regular newscasters are all men. You always object to the news watching (because you believe that every time TV is on, it should be turned to Noggin) and say that you don’t like the news. The other day, Campbell Brown was filling in as the anchor for Brian Williams. You stared at the screen for a while and then said very matter-of-factly: “Daddy, I LIKE this news. I don’t like man news, but I like THIS news!”
On your first day of school, the very first thing you said in response to “How was school?” was “There is a girl in my class. Her name is Anna, and she wasn’t wearing a pretty dress, but she was very pretty.”
On a drive home a few months ago, we were naming your friends. Baby Kristin, Baby Yara, Sky, Grant, Maitri… Isa? “Isa is not a friend. Isa is my girlfriend.” (I should also mention that Isa is totally infatuated with you and tells everyone that her name is “Isa Jon.”) Gotta tell you, child: you’ve got great taste.
Love you,
Mom
