"We have to move to a new house," I tell him tentatively. I am afraid he is going to freak out, because we do this too often and I know he hates it. He has just asked Keith a few weeks ago at bedtime to promise him we can live here forever. "We will stay in the same city, though, and you can still go to the same school." I wait.
"Well, we should move to a neighborhood close to my school then mommy, so that we don't have to drive too many minutes to get there."
Hmm, smart kid. We were considering the same thing.

And last week, when I was sad about losing his great teacher that I love:
"Mommy, you are sad now about Mrs. Flatt, but next year when I am going to first grade, you are going to say the same thing about my Kindergarten teacher. You are going to love her even more and be sad to change to a new one."
Sometimes this kid is wise beyond his years :-)

*ahem* the house right next to us is vacant and available for rent. And we're about 8 minutes from Pinewood. :)
