Relationships

I need to vent and since this is just family (mostly) I am going to do it here.  For the second day since school started Bailey has come home crying because 2 little girls don't want to play with her.  The second day of school, Bailey met a girl named Audrey.  They played together until the bell rang. At recess, another girl, named Kallie, wanted to play with Audrey, but said that she didn't want to play with Bailey.  So Audrey ditched Bailey to play with Kallie.  Bailey was heartbroken.  No reason given, just she didn't want to play with her. The next day, all 3 played together.  This morning, Bailey and Audrey hooked up again on the playground, thye held hands and were inseperable.  They apparently, played the whole first recess together, with Kallie.  Audrey and Bailey sat together at lunch, then after lunch at that recess Kallie decides they aren't going to play with Bailey and run away from her.  Which carries on to the next recess.  As a mom, my heart breaks for Bailey.  Where do little girls learn to be so mean?  Is it learned from parents?  I hope that I am teaching my children to be kind to others. According to Bailey, Audrey kept trying include Bailey, but Kallie kept trying to exclude Bailey. It is a rough lesson to learn at such a young age and when you are new and desperately want to have friends.  As a parent it is so hard to stand by and watch your child hurt. 

Busy...

We have been busy lately. Grandma Horton and Dylan were here then Grandma Horton left and Dylan was here.  Then Grammy came.

 We went to the zoo with Grammy.  It was fun, but probably would be better when the weather is cooler.  It was hot and the zoo is huge.  The kids got to touch a sting ray and that was really fun.  The best part of the zoo was the splash cave.  Mom and the kids loved it.  Mom liked all the splash parks with the kids:) 

Mom and I did a lot of sewing and going to craft stores.  Then mom and dylan left:(  We went to Carey and Penny's to go swimming.  Bailey is getting so brave! She loved going in the deep end.  I couldn't believe it.  Owen liked to stay on the ledge and squirt his water gun.  Kenley liked to go from bench to bench.  Today, the kids met their teachers for school.  It starts tomorrow.  I couldn't have wished for better teachers for them. They both seem like wonderful women.  I am so excited for the girls to start school tomorrow. Oh, and Friday night, Bailey was stung by a scorpion.  We thought 3 times, but it actually looks like it was 5 times.  Fortunately, she doesn't react to them and aside from a lot of pain Saturday, she is fine.

OK, blogger is bot wanting me to add any more pictures, so  I will try to post those some other time.
