Big splinter in your heel

Hey Buddy,

Wow, it’s been over a year since we wrote anything in your blog. Sorry dude. There had been a lot we could have witten but guess we didn’t think to do it.

So today you got a splinter (3/4 inch long) in your heel (unsure how) and you wouldn’t let us take it out until bed time (after a long bath). I was able to convince you the splinter would bug you all night because part of it was sticking out and would snag your sock or sheets. You seemed to understand that and and reluctantly decided to let me try to pull it out when I offered you a piggyback ride upstairs to get the tweezers.  I was able to pull it out in one try fortunately! You had a few tears but Eleanor was right right beside you comforting you and parroting what I was saying trying to be helpful. She’s an amazing big sister to you. She loves you truly!

Oh. Today mom and I were working on planning a camping trip to Arches National Park in Utah and while we were trying to decide if we really should make the long drive she got a little teary when thinking about the time we have left with Nanna and Pappa and you noticed it and immediately came over and said sorry and gave her hugs. You are so amazingly aware of people’s emotions and very empathetic for a 4 yr old! We love you dearly little guy!

Oh and you’ve just about mastered head stands now. You’ve been trying to copy me for a while and lately have been able to keep your feet up for 5-10 seconds! You are always entertaining!

That’s about all I can think of right now. I’ll try to write more this year.

Love,

Dad
