I Have a Bully

A long time ago, Alex- being very large for his size- gave a girl at play group a hug. In the process, he fell over and both of them went toppling to the floor. No harm no foal...except when the "gasp" happened.

The beauty queen mother and look -a -like daughter cried.

The mother was sooooo upset with Alex that she( being in charge of snack that day) withheld crackers from my son. Another mother(Sheri- Carey Jensen's sister) handed Alex a bag of mini Oreos. He was none the wiser. I was from then after not befriended by this mother....Jessica I think was her name. Back then I cared a lot what others thought of me.

Alex is not our bully. Back then President Monson said regarding Alex (another VERY VERY embarrassing story) "...he has too much Spirit for that little body..."

Benjamin is a bully and I have proof.

This morning I HAD JUST told my friend, Marilynn, that Benjamin bites and hits with malice and gets much glee from it.

No he may look like an angel or even a goofy baby, but underneath he is plotting.

Yesterday at church, Benjamin tackled a peer and slapped him silly.

Now again I will be shunned.

Today we were in the playroom finishing up our lessons.
Emma had a loose tooth or two and was playing nicely with Benjamin while I corrected her work...

SLAP!
POW!!
BAM!!!!



the blood and gore....


didn't last long!


Strangely Emma didn't want Benjamin to give her a hug. Benjamin was laughing at the carnage.
Bully I tell you. I have a one year old bully.

Drake's a bit of a bully as well. That's how he "socializes." When I take him to the playground, he goes somewhere where I can't directly see him, then I hear the some other kid crying.

I grab him and tell him he is not to hit anyone EVER, then he has to apologize to the other kid. That's when he pees his pants to get some sympathy. That might work with his mother but not with me.. He says he is sorry and gets a short time out.. and then home to change his pants.

I feel a bit bad for Adriana, because her play time gets cut short everytime he pees his pants but oh well.. She is her brother's keeper!

Adriana usually keeps him in check, but she is often off making friends with everyone else on the playground.

I'd like Drake to be an Ice Hockey Player and a punk rock drummer..
:-)
Put that agression where it needs to be!

Back to my other question, I'm assuming that Alex didn't hit the head-butter the other day.. Any confirmation?

Rumor has it the boy left crying but not from Alex. He has a great bunch of friends and a......"protective" Mother.
No I didn't actually touch him.

I'd bring an extra pair of pants and a plastic bag? Find a big tree and ask him to take care of it.
