New school, new neighborhood, new friends---I don't think I'm ready
First there was James knocking on the door asking if Jordan could come out to play. Then James was joined by Braxton and some football and basketball playing happened.
Now, he is at Austin's house. I don't know these boys! I don't want to be over protective. I don't want the kids to pick on him because of me....but at the same time I'm not comfortable with him just being 'all over the neighborhood' and me not knowing where he is from moment to moment.
I'm having to let go in a way that I've wanted to for so long....but now I don't want to.
I hate not knowing how to get him if I need him. Maybe this is why kids his age have cell phones. I hate not knowing that he's safe. I mean I 'know' he's safe....but I don't know he's safe.
Gahhh!!! I'm such a wishy washy Mom. I don't know how to do this! It was so much easier when he didn't have any where to go!

Yeah, maybe it's time Jordan gets a cell phone. :)
But I understand. My mom is overprotective. It comes with being an only child. :)

I'm pretty sure that's why many do. You might consider a pay-as-you-go as he will inevitably use it to call his friends, and that way it would be easier for him to contribute.
