So my first order of the day - Corran wants to make dad pancakes for Fathers Day! Translation, the bears will help for a little bit, making a bit of a mess and then asking every minute if they are ready yet!
Still the thought was there and it was sweet.
So now with full tummy's we are all relaxed watching Discovery channel about asteroids. Yesterday we all headed out to Greenwich which Fuzzy loved, she is very much one of the family and hates being left in while we are out so it was nice to see her run around silly, tail wagging and tongue hanging out of her mouth.
This time there was no "episodes" at the park, earlier in the week when I had taken the kids to the swing park in Greenwich some boy, a little older than Corran threw a cup of sand in Corran's face which he still doesn't really understand, he is learning the hard way that not all boys and girls are nice. Shocking more was that in asking the boy where his mother was he hit me, his mother came forward and didn't chastise the boy or offer an apology or teach the child that what he has done is wrong and I think this upset me the most - we have a responsibility for bringing our children up to know right from wrong and I worry about the adult that boy will turn into when his mother seems more interested in gossiping with other mothers than taking an interest in what her child is getting up to.
She strikes me as the type of mother that would scream had it been the other way around.
Not sure what the rest of the day has in store but I'm sure it will be noisy, messy and fun!
Take care
Claire
