Friday Update & a First for Sam


(Click on the images to see them larger)

As I do every Friday here is the update from Sammy's school. I know I say it all the time, but aren't they great! Well, this week in addition to all the fun, we also had our first incident at school where Sam hurt a fellow classmate.

On Thursday I get to school and the minute I walked into class I could see Sam was feistier than usual...then the teacher says, "Oh, we need to talk." Oh oh...every mom knows that is not good news. Well apparently Sam pushed his new classmate Nicole and she busted her lip as part of the fall. Sammy, Sammy! Of course my first reaction was, "Oh my gosh I am such a bad mother. It has to be my fault that my child is such a bully." But wait, it was an isolated instance and this stuff happens all the time. I mean they are toddlers and a little clumsy, but nonetheless I was mortified.

Well, I called Nicole's mom and all is okay in the world. She understands that things like this happen and we even planned a play date for the pair next week. Let's see how that goes...

But this whole thing got me thinking...how many more conversations like that will I have with the teacher?
