Liam Helps Me

Liam's preschool teachers use a common technique to help kids who miss their parents or who have strong emotions. They have helped Liam to write letters to us - mostly me - when he has cried after I've left - like when I didn't say good-bye in the "good-bye" window the first time I dropped him off 'cuz I didn't know about it.

A few nights ago, I was putting Liam to bed. I told him how nice it was to spend time with him. I told him that I feel sad during the day when I'm not with him. I just burst into tears. Liam lovingly said, "Mommy, when you're sad, you can write a letter to me and Kalian and tell us how much you miss us."

It broke my heart. Liam rocks!
