My children have been known to befriend many things in their young lives but this has to be the most inanimate of all.
Meet Bob the Balloon. Bob was born Saturday morning after Nathanael breathed life into him right before a birthday party. Bob has a two day life expectancy but in that short time much love and time has been invested in him. Bob’s likes are potato chip grease fingerprints, the scent of permanent markers and spooning in the middle of the night. His dislikes are flames, knives and gravity.
Nathanael and Bob are best friends forever.
Or until Monday at the latest.

I hope you “break” it to him gently when the time comes to tell him.

I don’t have the heart. I think I’ll let his pop do that.
