I had my first urge to yell at someone else's kid. I met my sister Kristine and her daughter Bella at McDonald's so the little tots could play. All was well for quite a while until a little boy probably around 18 months started following Jack around the play area. At first I thought no big deal he probably wants to make friends. Well according to my daughter Madi the little boy reached down and scratched Jack's nose, I did not see this because it happened in a tree tunnel. Jack didn't cry he just crawled away from the boy. Then the little boy followed him and reached down and scratched Jack's big chunky cheek leaving a bloody scratch and Jack definitely cried after that one. My first reaction was to comfort my son which left the little boy able to make a run for it. I don't know if I should have told his mother or said something to the kid. All I know is that I wanted to strangle my son's attacker, but he was a kid! Ugh, I feel weird. Later, the same boy came over and drank my daughter Emma's orange soda. His mom saw this incident and offered to pay for it but I told her not to worry about it, I think this may have been the appropriate time to tell her about her son's behavior towards Jack but I didn't think about that until after she had left.
On a happier note, here are some adorable pictures of my neice and Jack playing.
