Hunter the Beast

There are few things that can really bother me and on the top of my list are people who are mean to my boys. Jaden came home today and said that he had a horrible day. It seems that this boy named Hunter chased him around the playground, threw sand at him, and would hit him when the teacher wasn’t looking. Jaden added that he tried really hard to get away but Hunter is a really fast runner. When I picked him up from school he came running and gave me one of those “mom where have you been all day hugs.” I knew something was wrong and questioned him in the car. He gave me a full account of playground time with Hunter the beast and ended with I hope I can run faster tomorrow. This makes me so sad, its really the first time that I can’t really take the hurt out of his day with just a kiss or it will be okay. I really just want to sit on the kid. I am reminded how short your time is with your children at home all to yourself and to your family. Who are we kidding, Jaden is constantly surrounded by an adoring audience of cute Aunts and wonderful grandparents and he just figure out yesterday that his elbow was not his actual bicep. There will probably be more Hunters and I will probably cry more tears, but hopefully my boys will still be comforted by a hug from their mom. BTW on the way home he wanted to go to Grandma and Grandpas to see his Aunts. I am grateful for the fact that we can live so close to a loving family. Glad to see you all figured out the blog.
