Aubrey came home from school early on Thursday with a headache and fever. She and Dane were scheduled to take their fifth of six pottery classes that day right after school. It was 3 o'clock and the pottery class had been going for 15 minutes when I realized Dane might be wondering where Aubrey was.
I called the office to get a message to him. The secretary said she'd get a message to Dane, but, for some reason, Dane didn't get the message. However, at 3:05 I got a phone call.
"Mama?"
"Hi honey..."
"Did Aubrey come home already?"
"Yeah, didn't you get the message in pottery?"
"No... I went around the school looking for her after I went to her classroom and saw that her things weren't on her hook."
"Aw... were you worried?"
"Yeah. But it's okay... Can I talk to her? I want to ask her some questions."
I hand the phone to Aubrey. I hear her say things like, "Yeah, I got a fever" and then "Blue... red... yeah, red... yeah, there's three things..."
Turns out that was the day they were going to get to paint their pottery items, and Dane wanted to make sure hers got painted.
Of course I'm biased, but what' s there not to LOVE about a boy like that! He's about the sweetest boy ever. He's always like that.
Man, I love that kid.
