sela threw up today at school. her timing was impeccable. she waited until she was out of the car, looked up and said, "my tummy feels like it is going to vomit". and then as everyone scurried around looking for a rubbish bin, sela opened her mouth and vomitted everything she has eaten since last week onto the sidewalk.
she quickly changed into her change of clothes and assured everyone that she didn't want to go home, "i want to stay here". and then, still pale she trotted into small world and had a very good morning.
some sad news for two of the men in my world -
for jasper - asha and shae - his two best friends (remember the gorgeous little girl he is dancing with in charles' blog, where jasper is wearing the white captains' hat and the curly haired girl is wearing the princess dress?) are moving to australia. i haven't told him because quite frankly, i don't want to see him cry.
for sebastian - rufus is moving. at this stage of the game all the boys in his class have friends...and now sebastian's best friend is leaving. i am a little bit devastated for my little blonde boy.
thank goodness carys is relatively normal.
come home soon, charles, we need you.
Oh my!
Poor Sela, Poor Jasper and Poor Seb! *sigh* I remember when WE moved when my oldest was almost 5. It was torture leaving all the kids he had grown up with. They had chewed on each other and crawled on each other all through infancy, and made up all kinds of imaginary games together. We left and he was...it was not good. God brought us back not quite three years later and we were able to pick up right where we left off with many of those friends! Lost touch with a few though:(
I will pray for all of you. This is a tough time for sure!

Hey Tess, I am sure that Seb will find another best friend, and that JJ will pick up the pieces and move on after his friends move. Carys holds steady , and Sela ,, I am impressed with her premonitions and vocalizing of her vomiting .. at least you get a heads up :-)
Love to you all,
Auntie Pammie xoxo
