Lack of permanency...not knowing where you will be living over the next few months...is hard for a four year old.
Today, my youngest had a really hard day. He was an emotional mess because of everything listed above. We had carved out some snuggle time before the start of each school day and that really helped him, but today we didn't have time. THAT coupled with a big disappointment from yesterday pushed him over the edge.
I'm so thankful to be near him during the day. I heard his cries and was able to hold him, sing to him, reassure him, and then return him to class. My heart was breaking for his little heart...
Today was a day where I felt like I was just helping to pick up the pieces..the pieces broken because of the poor choices and mistakes of others.

Today, David asked me for the first time why Ashley had to die when she was so little.
I have a feeling that the questions are only going to get harder as the boys get older!
AND because this post needs a little lightening up...here are two pictures of David with Grandma and Grandpa from Grandparents' Day at school:
