Split Pea, you’ve always seemed like the confident one. The self-assured, fearless, ready to take on the world, leader of the pack. You are the one I think will thrive the most in your own environment at school. The one who seemed to be taking the separation most in stride.
Until this morning.
I wasn’t prepared for this. I didn’t expect the fear in your voice, the anxiety in your eyes, the tears pouring down your face. And it broke my heart when you begged me to let you be with your brother and sister.
I’m sorry I expected too much of you. Maybe your confidence came from Snap’s dependence on you. Maybe you had to be the leader because he was following you.
As hard as this is, I know it’s the best choice for you three. Daddy and I prayed long and hard about it. We had serious conversations with your pre-k teachers. We talked to other parents of multiples. We took your individual personalities and needs into account. Split, you can do this. You amaze me with your determination. You are always thinking. Always trying to figure stuff out. Always ready to take on the next challenge. I am so proud of you!
And I love you. Oh how I love you.

I love you, Split, and am so proud of you. It is ok to miss your brother and sister. I miss them too.
I have tears in my eyes – it is SO hard to seperate them. Hang in there!

((hugs)) hang in there.
