Dear Hayden,

Today, you are seven and a half! I cannot believe how quickly you are growing up. My favorite thing about being your mom in this stage is the conversations we’re able to have. You ask complex and interesting questions and you listen carefully when people talk. You are writing up a storm and you are still very interested in art. You have started composing your own tunes when you sit at the piano sometimes, and they are really, really good!

Love you,
Mama
