The Left Behind - My Sweet Xavier

Today the little brother was left behind.  If Natalee would have had her way, and he had his, Xavier would have come along to school with Natalee today...but alas, preschool is not the place for a 1 year old...even if that 1 year old is a super duper little brother!
Lora Jean said that when Natalee got her shoes on for preschool, Xavier wanted his on, too, and he didn't seem too impressed that she got to leave on the bus without him. She quickly got him playing with the other little girl that was at her house today, though, and said he seemed undisturbed by Natalee's absence.
However, tonight at the supper table, after Mike heard about Natalee's day I asked Xavier how his day at Lora Jean's was.  He was quiet at first, but then got one great big alligator tear that rolled down his cheek & said, "Natalee bye bye." 
Poor little babe.  He broke my heart and at the same time I'm so encouraged to get a glimpse into how much they love and treasure each other.  Love you, my Xaber man, and your sweet tender heart!!

~~Xavier still got his turn at talking to Grandma Num about his day.  You don't have to go to preschool to get a turn talking off Gma's ear!!
