Males

Thursday Bryce had a baseball game and the girls aren't very fond of sitting in the cold watching their brother play. So, many times they find playmates and play during the games. Kaetlyn has one little girlfriend that goes to most games that plays with her but this particular day Riley brought a friend with her and they wouldn't play with Kaetlyn because "she is only 4 and they are 5". Kaetlyn was very hurt by this and couldn't understand why Riley wouldn't play with her. I felt bad watching Kaetlyn try to play with those girls because every time she ran up to them they would run away from her and I knew the rejection that she was feeling from them. However, there is a little boy, Owen that loves to play with Kaetlyn and occasionally she will play with him. Today was not one of those days. Kaetlyn came running up to me and she said , "Mommy, Owen wants to play with me but I don't want to play with him!" I asked her how she felt when Riley wouldn't play with her and she said that it hurt her feelings but she did not want to play with Owen today. I told her that she should play with Owen and that it was nice of him to want to play with her and she said " I do not want to play with him mom and he will not listen to me and mom we keep AGRUINING!!" and she was dead serious. I just laughed and told her, "well baby, you'll be ARGUING with men for the rest of your life so you better get used to it now!"
