A Trip to the Bank Turns Into a Make Believe Restaurant

Here's a letter to Sydney to read 18 years from now.  Caution: This has the potential to be incredibly cheesy.  Just know it's all coming from a place of admiration and love.

Dear Sydney,
Today we went to the bank with you to deposit a few checks.  Typically a trip like this is anything but fun- it's a chore, a must-do.  But today, you changed that experience for me and your dad.  You- as always- brought fun into the equation!  As dad was waiting in line, you decided that the strangers sitting around waiting at the bank looked hungry so you walked around to each one and kindly offered them a hot dog with ketchup.  Typically banks are not the place to make friends and chat with strangers, but you singlehandedly changed the whole experience for those who were there.  Once you started feeding people your make-believe food, smiles and laughs were all around and we all began to talk to each other.  Your extremely friendly and caring nature is amazing to watch and is contagious!  Thank you for all of the joy you've brought to those around you in your two years of life so far!  We love you more than words can say.

Love,
Mama
