These are letters to Jack, my son, and my daughter, Audrey. You have given me the gift of motherhood. This is just a little gift back. I want to share my experiences with you of your childhood from my perspective of watching you grow - of being your Mom.

Books on Tape

Jack,

We had some quiet downtime today. You've had a cough and congestion that stubbornly has clung on for a week now. It tires you out a little more quickly because you have less of an appetite and probably aren't feeling your best.

So I dug these books on tape that I had copied ages ago when I was a preschool teacher at Clayton Early Childhood Center. This was before your Daddy and I were married and you were FAR from being a reality. Even then, though, I thought someday these might come in handy because I knew the children in my room loved them. So I copied them. And today, the plan came to fruition.

And that, my dear, is how you rationalize being a pack rat.

Love,

Mommy
