Planning Ahead

I'm not exactly sure what made me decide to prepare him for it, but before we went up for communion at church today,I reminded Nathan that he will receive a blessing where the man or woman will likely touch his head and say a few words. His response? "Good, so I won't say, 'Hey! Watch it' to them". Hahaha priceless!

Our First Trip To The Pool This Year

Nathan had a blast this week with his first trip to the pool this year. I had to share this picture because to me, he looks so much like my dad in it and generally I don't see my dad in him.

The First Time

This week held the first time I've ever felt helpless to help my little boy. We called an ambulance for me Monday night after a couple episodes of me laying on the couch feeling my body go completely numb- not being able to move or to speak no matter how much my mind was willing me to do both. I woke him to warn him that they were coming to take me to the hospital. I told him that I'd be okay and back home shortly. The look on his face, the tears in his eyes, this was the first time in 5+ years I've ever felt helpless to help him- to ease his fears, to wipe his tears, to make him feel safe and that everything would be okay. I hope I don't have to face another of these times for a long, long, long time, if ever, with my sweet little boy!
