I know it’s hard to guess, based on
\n toddler behavior, what a person will be like as a grown-up, but
\n sometimes it seems like you get little glimpses. Lex is usually
\n pretty easy going, non-confrontational, and helpful. At
\n playgroups, when other kids take stuff from him, he normally
\n just walks away. Even at our house he usually doesn’t care. (Is
\n he going to be a big push-over??) Yesterday, however, we had
\n Nate over and Lex knocked him over a couple of times! Very
\n intentionally and meanly. Lex was wearing a new shirt with
\n buttons and a collar and is a good several inches taller than
\n Nate (Nate is 19mo) and he just looked like a brute. What’s
\n worse, after the first push, every time Lex went anywhere near
\n Nate, Nate coward away from him and cried… which just made
\n Lex appear even worse. I felt bad for the whole situation. In
\n the afternoon Lex was trying to share his toys and give Nate
\n things, but Nate kept cowering away and crying. (Or is he going
\n to be a bully??) It was a rough day for everyone. (Or just a
\n toddler?? :) )<\/p>\n
Today will be better. I’m
\n packing (well, typing at the moment, then changing diapers,
\n then back to packing) and we are headed to Franklin!
\n Yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
