Dear Noah:

You made a friend with the little 3 year old boy downstairs that just moved in and his 1 year old brother. You all played and talked to each other back and forth from you up here and them down below. They wanted you to come down to play with them and I even heard their daddy tell you to come in and ask your mommy if it would be okay. THEN I heard you want the little boy to come up here. I think it would be great if you could all play together....but I also worry. It would have to be only outside where I can see and hear everything going on practically every second. I mean the boy down there is only 3 and his brother only 1. I think you would play fine but if they happened to do something to "set you off" then what? USUALLY around smaller younger kids you do very well. BUT we also don't really know these people yet. They only moved in a couple of days ago. I think so far they appear to be okay....but then sometimes looks can be deceiving. What a world we live in huh? Hard enough for US to try to figure everything out without you. You told me this "I think the strangers downstairs are good strangers because they have 2 little boys!". I only wish it were always that simple. BUT I am thinking you are probably right too and perhaps you will all become very good friends. Course then what when the child starts school or moves? OR WE move? (you know working at the Children's Hospital you hear horror stories too about kids coming across guns to play with). While I know WE don't have any here etc...even if another parent told me they did not either I think I would always worry about that. SO...we will see how things go.

Last night however you already informed me that today, May 26, 2005 was the day you were going to go downstairs and play with Isaiah.

I love you my angel boy!

Mommy
