~ My plan to hit the gym everyday got shot down for the last 3 weeks due to Gavin, Carly then me getting sick. Would have been nice to be sick all at once...lol, NOT! So anyway, this coming week is looking great for another fresh start!
~Gavin had his first field trip to the Zoo's Safari Park (aka: Wild Animal Park) with his Pre-K class. I was sooo excited to go. Thanks Mom for watching Carly for me. I realized that G & I have never had one on one time....sooo sad. Time for that to change! We had a blast and now I'm thinking passes are in order; especially since it's only 15min away. Kids are older now and would now be fun rather than a hassle.
~ Shane had his 1st Minor B practice. So far I think it's gonna be a great season. Love the Manager he has.....very kid friendly. All the kids seemed to hit it off too.
~ Had to put a stop to a couple kids (4 or 5yrs old) bullying Gavin. That was an interesting experience and one that I hope never happens again. Parent did nothing to difuse the situation. Every once in a while the dad would yell at his kids to go sit down but never once told them to stop doing what they were doing or told them to appologize. Kids taunted and mocked Gavin, who kept going back to them trying to be friends. Long story short, the kids were chasing him and calling him names while he was riding his bike. At one point one of the bullies ran infront of G and G didnt have time to stop his bike and ran him over. G crashed too. Then they taunted him some more and asked him to stop his bike for a second and one pulled on his jacket until he fell off. The last straw was then both kids chased G (on his bike) all the way around to other side of field. G was scared and kept riding till he crashed his bike so he wouldnt hit a tree....then the kids threw a ball at him while he was down. I tried to let them figure it out on their own (didnt interfere) long enough, Mama Bear in me was furious! I got up and stopped kids from running to their dad; told them their behavior was unacceptable and they need to appologize, go back to their dad and not come back. I was way more calm than I wanted to be. Told G to stay on our side and he can try to be friends another day cause today just wasnt gonna happen. He was sad and hurt and confused. Told him I was proud of him....my goodness I was so proud he didnt blow up like I felt like doing. He could have totally put them in their place another way if he was pushed anymore. If this happens a next time Im gonna have to have a talk with the dad cause this behavior was so ridiculous. I was in shock and all fired up I couldnt sleep all night. Unfortunately, the two little kids' brother is on Shane's team so can't stay away. Praying those two kids arent on Gavin's team.
~ Brandi, Andy & Colton finally made his way to San Diego!! I got a baby fix even if it were for a short time. How cute is this kid?!
~Boys are loving Tae Kwon Do! Again Gavin is surprising me on how fast he's catching on. I think this is going to be great for him to focus. This is also great for Shane to slow down and take pride in his work. So busy but so exciting! They should be getting their uniforms soon.
Hope you all had an eventful week! Here's to a new week with new experiences!!
