Touching...

Last night after dinner, the four of us ventured over to the new house to check out the progress.  Jason was there last Wednesday, and it was CRAZY to see everything that had been completed since then.  (I will post some progress pictures.)  Anyway, after being there for about 15 minutes, Rylan was ready to "go home."  I did not think much about it until Jason mentioned it before going to bed last night.  He asked if I had ever noticed that Rylan is often excited at first to see the new house but when that wears off, he pretty quickly is ready to go back home.  So this morning I mentioned it to him and sure enough, Jason hit the nail on the head.  Poor Ry guy started crying saying he never wanted to leave our house and wanted to stay here forever.  I tried to explain to him that the only thing that would be changing was our house, but I think that is a lot for a four year old to wrap their head around.  I wrote a note to his teachers today explaining what was going on, just in case he was upset at school.  When I went to pick him up after school, Ms. Debbie told me that they read a story today at circle time about moving.  They had a few kids that had moved this year shared their stories about moving and how they got to bring everything with them.  Let me just tell you that it took every ounce of composure to not just burst into tears.  I am truly amazed at the level of compassion that Rylan's teachers have for him and all of the children.  They addressed a tough situation for my little guy on the morning that I sent a note.  It takes a truly special teacher to do what they did for my child today.  I will forever be grateful to them.
