saying goodbye

Today we said good-bye to our sweet Occupational Therapist miss A. There were tears. There were hugs. I'm grateful for the growth Caleb has made under her wings this year. She will be missed.

 We came home and as we settled in for naps I got teary eyed some more over the moment pictured above (Caleb reading The Giving Tree to Lucas) and the beautiful book pictured below. Have you read it? All the world? It has beautiful pictures and a beautiful story and I could hardly read the book without crying with my two beautiful little boys perched next to me. #i'mahotmessofpregnancyhormones

 

I managed to get a short video of Caleb singing in the car before we went in for OT.  His sweet voice is music to my soul. It's been an emotional day for me. Good-byes are never easy. I feel blessed for the year Caleb had with Miss A. He has grown so much and I'm hopeful that he will adjust to his new OT, Miss L (he did great with Miss L leading the session today and Miss A stepped back and didn't have to intervene at all; Monday will be his first day starting with just Miss L)

 (in this video it is hard to hear him sing the words but I just love his big ol' smile at the beginning)

 

(towards the end of the video caleb starts to get into the song. God loves me so)

 

Tomorrow we have a fun outing planned with friends to a place we've only been to once. I think the boys will have fun and I think a day of fun with friends is just what we need.

"...Nanas, papas, cousins, kin 
Piano, harp, and violin
 Babies passed from neck to knee

All the world is you and me

Everything you hear, smell, see
All the world is everything

Everything is you and me

Hope and peace and love and trust

All the world is all of us'
