The Other Side To The Stone

Fisher was working sooo hard at playing with Rider (in Power Ranger costumes and all). Then he comes out to me with a nice bright red handprint on his chest. He is crying, saying how he was playing with Rider (because I told him to) and how Rider was being mean and hitting him!

The injustice!


So, I call Rider to come out, and I tell Fisher that he doesn't have to play with Rider anymore.


Rider comes out with his sad blue eyes looking up at me and asks politely~

"What mom?"

I told him how "not nice" it was that he would go off and hit Fisher, when Fisher was being kind and playing with him.


Rider looks down, knowing this wasn't his best moment and...

...as picked on as he could convey he says~

"But Mom, it hurt my hand...."

We Be Educated

Rider is home with me. I didn't send him to school yet. He is a summer birthday and I just wanted to wait another year...hopefully it's Mother's Intuition and not Mother's Co-Dependency :)

My day is filled with little quips and one liners that make my day perfect. I guess next year I will have to volunteer a lot to keep my cup full!

A bit of our day today~

"Rider, let's go upstairs and get a book to read, just like if you were at school." I said

And Rider answers~ "So, you're gonna learn me to read, like at school?"

I guess I better get a move-on to learning him to read!!!!
