Thoughtful Nephew

Today I had the pleasure of watching my sweet niece Mya for the morning while Beth had a doctor appointment. It turns out Mya got to spend some extra time with us in the flow of the events of the day. What a sweet baby! Nathaniel had asked me to get some batteries for him for his Nerf gun. I told him that IF I went to the store, I would get some. When I picked him up from school, he asked about the batteries. I told him I didn't go to the store since I stayed home more of the day. His reply was very thoughtful. He said, "That's ok, Mom, because that's [meaning Aunt Beth going to the doctor] more important than playing."
