Amanda Kloots Recalls Emotional Classroom Experience With Son As He Turns 4!

Proud mom Amanda Kloots can not hold her excitement about the significant milestone in her son's life with a flood of cherished memories from the past year.

Despite the challenges faced after the tragic loss of her husband, Nick Cordero, she continues to embrace the role of a loving mother and reflects on the emotional connection she shares with her little one.

In a touching move, the actress created a video montage capturing the beautiful moments of her son Elvis' journey over the past year. Accompanied by the melodic tunes of Styx's "Come Sail Away," the compilation showcased a delightful array of photos and videos, ranging from precious moments at home to Halloween celebrations and playful adventures in sand and snow. 

She penned a sweet message for her boy in the caption, "My favorite memories from this past year as Elvis turns four today! Happy 4th Birthday to my beautiful little boy!" The TV personality went on to share a story from when he was in preschool, partly narrating:  

"I drop him off at preschool every morning, and we are always running 30-45 minutes late, so he's the last to arrive. (🤪) Anyways, he walks into his classroom, and everyone screams, "Elvis!" Then one by one, they get up and run to hug him."

She explained that due to the outpouring of hugs, Elvis would playfully tumble to the ground, surrounded by a pile of enthusiastic toddlers. Kloot noted that the scene repeated each day, leaving her profoundly moved. The dancer expressed her deep love for the tiny tot and added:

"The things he's doing now and learned this past year have blown my mind. I wish I could freeze time but can't wait to see what this year brings. I'm so in awe, so proud, and so impressed by my little buddy." 

The post was so heartwarming that it garnered so much love from her fans, who described the little celebrant as "one of the greatest boys ever." One follower stated that the video was the "Sweetest thing I've ever seen," while another wrote, "Happy Birthday to such a great kid! I love everything about him! Perfect song choice!"

This person pointed out that he looked more like his late father as someone else gushed, "So beautiful. He exudes joy! Job well done, momma!" Right before his Birthday, the single mother shared a video that captured precious moments from her son's birth to his father's loving interactions with him. 

The clip was accompanied by audio of Cordero speaking about Elvis' birth and the mixed emotions they experienced as new parents. In the caption, Kloots expressed her late partner's sentiments and his profound emotional connection to fatherhood before their son's arrival: 

"On the eve of Elvis's 4th birthday, I am reminded of this beautiful recording from Nick's one man show about becoming a parent. He was beyond excited for Elvis to be born, to become a father."

With overwhelming emotions, she revealed her late husband's heartfelt words in their son's baby book, emphasizing kindness, confidence, and happiness. She also pledged to honor her promise and shower their baby boy with all her love and concluded by emphasizing the significance of capturing memories. 

The "DWTS" alum candidly discussed the emotional challenge of helping her young son cope with the impending grief of his father's passing. The Blast reported that she observed that Elvis had begun conversing about the "Bullets Over Broadway" actor's absence. 

"The Talk" co-host shared her reflections on these poignant moments, stating, "There have been some times where he has gotten sad where we're talking about Nick, and he says, 'But Dada died.' And then he'll get very sad, which is heartbreaking as a parent."

However, Kloots noted that while she has not had to delve deeper into the conversation, she knew that "It's coming, and that'll be a whole new layer for me and my grief and helping him get through that and understanding that. So that's coming up for me. I know it's not probably too long away."

In the meantime, she would stay committed to ensuring that her late husband's memory remains alive in their son's life. The doting mother also hoped that her book would provide comfort and connection for the youngster as he grows older.
