Mockery

I’ve mentioned that Zach is pretty rough and tough before. If you know my kids at all you have probably been witness to some of his antics.

Case in point; a member of the same family that has been bulling Lacey is in Zach’s room at daycare. One day last week she tried to push him around. He promptly threw a rock at her head. Problem solved.

Before I go into what my zany child did, I think it would be relevant to explain what Zach has been dealing with for the past few weeks. Every year around this time his asthma really kicks it up a notch and even with medications to help control his breathing he is often kept up at night coughing. The poor kid hasn’t had a good night’s sleep in weeks. It’s something about the night air because he sleeps really well in the morning hours and he takes fabulous naps.

Whilst taking his treasured nap at daycare Friday he was awakened by his on again off again girlfriend H. She had had enough of his silly sleeping and needed him awake so that she would have a 'Daddy' for her babies while she played house. 

So she walked up and yanked his pillow out from under his head. (This cracks me UP!) Of course, this infuriated Zach. He scratched H’s arm, yanked his pillow back and tried to lie back down. H, (rightfully) cried and told the teacher what Zach had done to her. Ms. B walked over to him, fussed at him and attempted to make both of the children sit in time out. In order to do this she would have to take Zach’s pillow away.  This didn't go over well and he ended up pitching a royal fit and scratching Ms. B also.

And then I was called.

So Friday when I picked up the kids I had to sign two things: 

1.  Zach's write up 
2.  A document for Lacey...because she continues to be bullied.

Oh at the irony. I have one that is antagonistic and one that is excruciatingly passive.

Even though I am making light of the situation please know that I do not find it funny when it happens. In our home it is not, nor has it ever been okay for him to be so disrespectful to his teacher, nor is it acceptable to have scratched H, no matter what she did. We are trying to teach Zach not to EVER physically attack a girl. EVER. Being disrespectful or hitting an adult is not EVER acceptable either. Making light of some of the things that go on is just my way to keep from going batty.
