Hearts

Since we started sending the kids back to school and preschool Alexander has found it hard to separate again from us. He wasn't very keen to go back and let me know about it on the way home from school, in the car and as we walked over to preschool. Most preschool days has been this. But what I have loved is that he told one of his teachers, Laudie, that he wanted to have the heart thing on his hand again. I loved that she remembered what he was talking about and drew the heart on his hand for him. I told him that I felt some squeezes and that made sense about why I did.

Telling Daddy that he didn't want to go to preschool

His heart on his hand. Thanks Laudie

The next day Alexander asked for us all to have a heart drawn on our hands.

I love that Daniel and Eliza also help Alexander with this. They ask for the hearts, they push on their hearts to give him a hug and ask him if he felt the hug. It is so sweet that the kids are supporting each other during this time.

All you need is love.

I have never wanted to get a tattoo before and don't really want to get one because I don't like needles, but part of me wants to get a little heart tattoo on my wrist to remind me of this time and of our precious family supporting each other, encouraging each other and loving each other.
