Hard Knocks

One week into Kindergarten for Big J. He's having a super time. But yesterday he came home and said "I didn't have such a great day." OH NO. I asked why. He said "There is a boy in my class who kicked me." Oh dear . . . . so we had a conversation, and as best as I can tell, the boy wanted some attention from my son who was talking to someone else at the time, and instead of getting his attention through normal means, he just kicked him instead. Of course, my son told the teacher, who made the boy move somewhere else in the class. (not sure on this, as my son's descriptions aren't always the best!) Well, bless his heart, that wasn't the end of the "not such a great day" story. Also, at recess, I guess some older kids came over to him on the swings and told him to get off! UGH. My heart dropped into my stomach. I want to go beat them up right now! We asked him what he did. He said "I got off the swings." Good boy. (I think?) But he said he looked for the teacher at recess, and couldn't find her. Another icky thing. The hard knocks of life are starting for our son and I have to pray!!
