Too Cute!!
Nathaniel had his first play date with a fellow kindergardener yesterday. I met up with the family at the school around 3:30 which is when I pick up my other two kids. I also had my teenager with me so it was a family affair of sorts.
Being that is was a gorgeous snow-melting kind of day, I let the kids play on the structure until it was time to go. It wasn't till we started thinking of leaving that we discovered that this play date of Nathaniel's was a serious issue on their part. His friend who was exceptionally protective over his new little buddy, wouldn't let "just anyone" take him.
"Leave him alone!!" he shouted in terror at Brendan, "You're not his Dad!" My guess is that this poor little kid thought Brendan was abducting his newest best bud.
"I'm his brother," Brendan looked way down into the face of a concerned little boy.
"No you're not--Graham is!" He shouted and ran to get adults. "Um, um, um," he interupted jumping in front of me like he just drank 12 cans of pop. "That guy is trying to take Nathaniel!"
In all of the curfluffel, Graham made a run for the car thinking we had already left, so man-sized Brendan (over six feet tall) turned on his heels chasing him down the street, to let him know we hadn't left yet.
You can only imagine the look on this little kids face when Brendan ran past--priceless--poor thing.

I can't wait, I am excited you are guest blogging.
Love the story =)))
Aww...that is so cute about the little friend being so protective! He's smart too - probably been told to tell an adult if a stranger tries to get him (or a friend) to go with them. Good boy! I'm assuming everything got straightened out and that this poor child wasn't lying awake all night or having nightmares ;o)
Aww! At least this kid knows not to go with strangers!
Hi There!
Enjoying your blog immensley!
I take it he did not know that there was an older brother than Graham. The kid is sensitive. Good to know that the kid thinks of Nathanial as a friend and must have had a good time with Nathanial.

Great story!
Sounds like he's got clever parents who thought to tell him to beware of a stranger taking his friends too.
There is never a dull moment in your family, is there. Too funny :)
Thank you again, Darlene for your guest post.
Blessings to you and yours.
