Just kidding, Shawna...
I am in a good mood this morning, except for a headache. Maybe too many salty pistachios last night? I dunno. I took some meds, and it's getting better, though.
Dropped the boys off at schools today. DS8 looked a little down in the dumps, so I gave him an extra hug. I told him I loved him, and he said, "OK." So I grabbed him again, pulled his face up to mine so he had to look me in the eyes, and I said, "Hey... I love you." He smiled. Sweet boy.
When DS4 and I got to the preschool classroom, the little boy he's been having an 'issue' with stopped him dead in his tracks and started in: "So. You need to be nice to me! And if you want to be nice to me, I'll let you play with me! So you better be nice or else!"
I was actually trying to get DS off to the potty at the time, but this kid stepped in our way and started talking sternly to DS (which to be honest, seriously ticked me off!) I just stood there with my mouth open, then looked at the teachers.
One of them came over and starting speaking to the child, saying that was not a nice way to speak to anyone, and I took DS off to the potty. He said he didn't like when that boy yelled at him, and said, "He's a idiot!" I said I understand, I didn't like the way he spoke to you either, but we do not call people names, that is NOT OK. But that boy is right that it IS important to be nice. If you don't want to play with him, that's OK, but you do need to be nice to him. There are lots of other kids to play with.
The teacher had told DS when we walked in that another child was asking where he was, so she directed DS to that child after we got out of the potty. Oyyy... I hope today goes well.
