I am not your friend anymore

I have not written in about a week and just wanted to do a bit of a catch up. On the same day as Father's Day it was my mum's birthday. I find it quite hard to get presents for my parents, so this year I got creative. I had made a chocolate flower arrangement for my brother in-laws 30th, so I decided to do a more feminine one for my mum for her birthday. I must say I was quite impressed with how it turned out.

Of course the kids had to be in the picture as well.

So that was what I did for my mum. I quite enjoy making things like that.

On to other things, Joseph today learned a hard lesson. He has been going to kindy full time since the beginning of this term. He has been really enjoying it and has made some friends. This is where the problem was. This morning he got to kindy and said hello to Matthew. Now Matthew is his best friend at the moment. So after he got his hat on he went over to play with Matthew, only to be told that he couldn't play with him because he was playing with someone else. Now Joseph was fine until I came over to say goodbye. He came over to be with this sad little face and with his little lip wobbling told me that Matthew didn't want to be his friend anymore. He was so upset, his little heart was breaking. He had been so looking forward to playing with his friend. He cried on my shirt for a couple of minutes and then we went inside to play with the computer. Hopefully when I go back to pick him up everything will be fine. My heart just went out to him, that he had to learn this hard lesson. Matthew was not nasty about it, he was just playing with someone else and when you are 4 you can only play with one person at a time. I am sure that this will not be that last time my children have friend problems. I just hope they are resilient enough to get through all that is thrown at them.
