And he's off...

Today, tommy flies to Texas for Thanksgiving. I am always on edge the day's he flies. So many things for a mom to worry about, even without sending their child on a plane. He is so good about flying. He is so brave and I always think about how I know the lord prepared him for this. Because there aren't many 6 year olds that could handle flying alone. I always have a big list of "don't" for him... Like, don't let anyone take you to the bathroom except a flight attendent, don't let anyone touch or hurt you (if they do you tell the flight attendent that you want to sit somewhere else.), and don't get lost...stay with the flight attendent! and more... He hates when I go over this list and always says (in a very annoyed tone), "I know mom, I wont. You don't need to tell me all this." Well, moms just love to worry! Actually I don't love it, but it's kind of something I can't get over. :) So... Off he goes today and we will miss him. But, I know he is going to have a great time and I know that he will be safe!
