Dear Vanessa,

This is proof that Luciana got your genes. She is such an extrovert. We were at the indoor playground and she becomes friends with literally everyone. I swear she is catnip for 6 year olds.

She had been playing with this one kid for over an hour when they wanted to go play in the big part of the playground. The 6 year old asked me if she could take her on her own.

Immediately my insides started to retract into a tiny ball of anxiety.

Luciana is about to turn three. I had all the exit doors blocked. What’s the worst that can happen? She goes play by herself with a random friend. For the first time ever.

Don’t tell me the answer.

They were gone for maybe 10 minutes. It felt like 10 years.

She came back. No bruises. Still happy. Pretty sure she hadn’t licked the floor or anything like that. Yay?

Boooooooooo!

Where is the stop clock? When you died she could only crawl backwards. Now she has made more friends in one day than I have in the past decade.

You’d be proud.

Besitos,

Michael
