Sam's New Love...

I'm devasted...Although I'm certain Sam loves me with all his heart as I am his mother and his first love...He has found a new love. It's really very cute. Her name is Natalia and she is one of Sam's teachers at his school. Natalia just started working at the school and in Sam's class just a couple of months ago and he has really become smitten with her. He talks about her ALL the time. This morning when I was getting ready to bring him to school and talking about school, he kept saying her name...he calls her Talia. He was very excited to see her. I drove up to the school and a different teacher came out to get him and he actually had tears in his eyes. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I want Talia". I was so happy to see that he actually has real feelings for people. When I picked him up, his Talia brought him out to my car and he was so happy! He kept looking up at her saying "Talia, Talia, Talia". I don't know how the teachers at the school keep themselves from getting attached to the children. It's got to be tough for them to say goodbye when it's time for the kids to leave the school for good. I give them tons of credit, that's for sure.
