Thank you for your lovely email.  It could not have come at a better time.  

The previous evening I was watching Sam struggle to get into his Halloween costume in anticipation of tonight’s party. It was inexplicably painfully watching him put items on in the wrong order or, "I don’t know, which end do you think goes up?”….Do I honestly have to tell you that the robe goes on last?!? It’s a Jedi, for Christ’s sake. You picked this costume!

Where did I go wrong? Have I not dragged his ass to enough ComicCon’s? Has he not seen enough grown men dressed as Jedi wandering around convention centers, unironically?!? What else can I do, short of throwing Star Wars TM action figures at his head? 

Then I received your email and found myself breathing a huge sigh of relief.  At least my big beautiful monkey has learned to fake it when out in the real world. I really can’t ask for more than that. So again, thank you for your email!

Good morning,

I wanted to just spend a moment and let you know how much I enjoy having Sam in my chemistry class!

He is bright, engaged and fearless! He is always ready to chime in his thoughts in class, and I have a lot of fun engaging with him! He is really doing a great job.

I know as a parent, it is always nice to hear that our children are appreciated, even when we might be unsure on our end!

All the best,
