The other night Nathan came running and crying into where I was sitting. It sounded like he’d really been HURT! So, I gathered him up to see what was wrong. Inbetween sobs, we were able to decipher what he was saying:

“I want to go to Amanda’s house.’!

We still didn’t know what was wrong though. Finally, he said the reason he needed to go to Amanda’s house was because his tooth was loose. Evidently, we haven’t been through enough loose teeth with the other kids (LOL). I guess he felt Amanda was the one best able to handle this “situation” because we’ve deferred to her lately when dealing with some of Josh’s stubborn teeth since she has TOOLS!

It was late at night and Amanda lives 30 miles away so we didn’t drive right over (LOL), but we did let him call her. He said to her:

“Amanda, here’s the deal. I don’t want to see any blood.”

She, of course, said she couldn’t make any promises about there being no blood, but she assured him she could bring her special gauze to stop the bleeding! I love the special bond they have! I was worried about how well they would know each other since she moved out when he was only four years old. I need not have worried! She makes time to do special things with him and he asks to call her several times a week. Sometimes he asks me to send her a text from him and sometimes he wants me to post something like this on the blog so she’ll be sure to see it.
