Breaking my heart via note.
Moses has been crying at school. Not every day, not all the time, but...it seems to have lessened by now but about 3 weeks ago one of his teachers told me she saw him crying at lunch and invited him to stay in for recess to write me/us a note. They handed the note to me and I worked really hard on controlling my own tears! "Mom. I feel sad Mom. I want you. I really want to go home and snuggle with you. Moses." (Loosely translated, that is...) He had started a similar note on the back for Dad too, but didn't get to finish. Snuggles solve everything and you can be sure there have been plenty of them around here =) I'm glad to hear his sadness seems to be taken over by his zeal for reading everything he can get his hands on in the classroom lately, which is of course plenty! He is also picking up lots of Spanish from the other students and the teachers. But I will miss this day when he graduates and goes off to college! Maybe I will write him a note like this. "Moses. I feel sad Mo. I want you. I really want you to come home and snuggle me. Mom." You never know....

I think I would have teared up too. How sweet but sad at the same time! U should write him a similar note when he goes to college! :)
This proves that you are doing a great job as a mother! BTW, snuggles solves lots of dilemnas!
