He crawls toward anything he's not supposed to touch. He has a laugh that makes strangers in grocery stores stop and turn around. He will eat sweet potatoes but has strong feelings about peas. He figured out how to open cabinets two weeks ago, and nobody in the house has relaxed since.

Open When You're Ready

Letters to Dawson

From the people who were here first. For when you're old enough to read them.

Your letter to Dawson goes here. Write it the way you'd talk to him if he were sitting across from you at twenty years old. Tell him something true. These stack up over the years and become the most valuable thing on this site.

Another letter from someone who loves him. Add new ones every birthday, every milestone, every time something happens worth remembering. One letter a year for eighteen years. Do the math on what that collection looks like when he opens it.
