My sweet Nolan. I love this boy so much. I love how he is growing and changing daily. He is becoming more aware of his emotions and I witnessed his tender, fragile heart this morning.
Yesterday was one of his friends last day at school. E's family is moving to Texas tomorrow. This morning Nolan sat at the breakfast table with big crocodile tears streaming down his face. "E is gone. E goes to Texas. E comes back on Sunday?" It then progressed to "D in Virginia. B is in Kindergarten. No more N on bus." He proceeded to name and lament each one of the children who have moved out of his class over the course of the last few months. He was so brokenhearted and missing his friends. It was all I could do to not cry right along with him.
I scooped him up and hugged him tight. When we prayed this morning before he got on the bus I made sure to include his friends he misses so much. I truly hope he has a happy day with the friends he still has in his everyday life.

That is so sad but so sweet at the same time. Bless his sensitive little heart.
