If one more kid...

Mom's, why am I always leaving my son's School/Child Care Center saying, "If one more kid..."? It seems as if lately I am finding out that some child bit my son, or put sand in his hair, or pushed him. I mean, goodness. The last thing I need when I get off work is to find out that there is sand in his already not wanting to be washed hair. And goodness if I have put oil in his hair that morning to nourish it, I'm done for!

Where do we as mommies draw the line of protecting our babies and fighting there battles for them? I soooo want to find the child who keeps putting sand in my almost 3-year old's hair and tell him to STOP! But then I stop to think, "Is that my job or should I let me son fight his own fight?" Thinking about it now just makes me sad because there will come a day when I won't be responsible for him or his well being and I will have to let go and trust that I instilled in him strength, courage and wisdom to protect himself and those whom he loves.

Peace and Blessings to you Mommies out there,
Aurellia

PS I still want to go find that kid...lol.
