When we got home from our trip, we made the kids unload the motorhome. It's not usually the most favorite thing for them to do when we get home, but it's a necessary task.
Jason and Nathan were pretty mad and, as usual, they took their anger out on each other. Each one of them thought the other was slacking on their responsibilities. So, as they walked by one another, they'd reach out and punch or kick each other.
One of Jason's punches came out a little too hard, and Nathan bent over just in time to let his nose get in the way of Jason's fist. Blood spurted out and there were tears, yelling, and all kinds of chaos.
Jason felt terrible.
After the dust settled, and punishments were met, he still felt really bad.
We had a good chat, asked for forgiveness, and then tried to move on.
That's when Jason found out that his teacher had left him a bag of treasures to go through.
He had a bunch of tootsie rolls, a sweet note from her, and all the things he had worked on throughout first grade. I guess that means he's done! He's a big second grader now!
We had fun looking through the pictures he'd drawn and all the things he had learned and done. I loved seeing him smile as he pulled out each thing from the bag. This cute boy loved school. Loved his teacher, and looks forward to going back.
