*"Get out of my way, jerk!" My immediate reaction was frustration. I sat down for a moment and cooled off, then called Sam who was in the bedroom playing with Simone. He came to me right away. I gave him a big squeeze and said in a sad voice, "oh Sam, it's not ok to say to your sister "get out of my way, jerk." Lately he's been experimenting with calling inanimate objects some not-so-nice names and this was the first time I'd heard him call Simone a name. Without me asking him to apologize he walked over to Simone and said in such an adult voice, "sorry, sweetheart.'' He also gave her his motorcycle to play with and completely changed his attitude towards her.
A little example of the kind of person Sam is. I'm proud of him!
aw so sweet! What a precious little soul
