Phew! Great news! I hope things work out. I dunno, it sounds like the biggest adjustment DP may have to make is not having any other little people to hang out with, if he's the only charge. But, he might like that even better- a grown up who will spend all their time with him! I'll cross my fingers for you. :)
I'm sure Drama Prince will be fine. While it's true that children need stability, it's not as though you're moving him every few days (or weeks).
If you're worried about him not having other children to play with, I could introduce you to my sister-in-law! They live in Nepean and it turns out that my nephew and DP are almost EXACTLY the same age.
Sorry I missed the original message. What a horrible day!
DP sounds like a very happy and content little person. Routine is good, but if life throws you a curveball, there's nothing you can do but your best. And since you are both excellent, loving and supportive parents, DP can weather these minor scheduling squalls without major upsets.
This is one of those opportunities to pat yourself on the back for doing such a great parenting job.
And changing things up once isn't violating routine and stability so much as teaching how to adapt to change. It's when there is no routine, etc. (Or so my undergrad-level DevPsych class this term says.)

As usually my fears were for naught.
