I went to the Annual Greek Festival with my friend Elisabeth and her daughter Lexi.
Tyler REALLY likes Lexi. They play so well together and I think he has a crush on her. It is very sweet.
There was lots of fun stuff for the kids to do. We made a stop at the petting zoo (which is really a large cage where you can feed some animals). They had a lot of fun!
There were a couple bouncy castle/slide things that they played on too.
We went inside and they snacked on some popcorn and then we had lunch and ice cream!
The day was a great success...UNTIL...
Lexi gave Tyler a picture she drew of the two of them. I mean, look how cute they are in the picture! Adorable! Tyler told her he didn't like it. I mean...really? How could he? I was mortified! Poor Lexi was so upset and started to cry a little. I felt TERRIBLE! I don't think Tyler wanted to hurt her feelings. I just don't think he knows better. In the car on the way home we had a long talk about how words can really hurt people and if someone gives you something, you always say thank you! We decided that we should make Lexi a card and drive it over to her with a ring pop.
Tyler went to the door himself and gave it to her along with a hug. I think he felt really bad that he upset her. It's always a good day when they learn something :)
So sweet!! You are such a good mom to teach him to be sweet to girls and apologize when he messes up. So, should we start planning the wedding? :-)
