Teaching Children

Who knew that teaching children would be so hard and heartbreaking. This weekend I had to teach Kaleigh that you don't always get invited to places that your sister's do and sometimes friends change there minds. Our neighbors the Robinson's are great neighbors they have 4 girls, two of them are 5 and 3 years old, so our girls and the 5 and 3 year old play together really well. So on Saturday was the 3 years old birthday party and she invite Emma and Alysia, I had to explain to Kaleigh that even though they all play together they just invited those two, cause they are around her age. All week long Kaleigh and her friend Carsyn talked about coming to my house during the party and play big girl stuff. Saturday is here and Emma and Alysia are ready for the party at 8am and it does not start until 3pm (that was a very long morning). We walked the girls over to the party as we are walking Kaleigh is fighting back her tears, then we get there and Carsyn decided to stay at the party and not come over----Kaleigh bursted into tears and ran home. I got her calmed down and we went to the craft store and she picked out a craft to do while I scrapbooked. Then dinner time came and I taughter her how to make Taco Soup (a favorite at our house). She did so good and was so excited to help do it all. When the girls came home she rubbed it in there face she cooked dinner, so then the other 2 were upset they did not get to help. We sat down and had dinner and kaleigh asked Brad if it tasted good: and in tears she said"cause i was not invited to the party and carsyn did not want to play with me" When we all finished dinner she was very excited that we all ate it all gone and that she was a good cook.
