I know it will all work out and they make friends fast, but I do wonder how I'm going to handle and help him with any social hurts that come his way. Recently some boys he didn't know called him "Farmer Pickle"...whatever that mean...but it bothered him.<br />Anyways, great post.<br />- Jill<br />www.mommyinconsistent.blogspot.comMommy Inconsistenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053094867651216901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-10180758905136120122011-06-08T22:51:21.299-04:002011-06-08T22:51:21.299-04:00My daughter is three and oh, dear Lord, she is SO ...My daughter is three and oh, dear Lord, she is SO challenging all the freaking time!!

I know that he'll be fine, but when I see anxiety of fear in his eyes when we talk about going to school it makes me hurt for him.<br /><br />Stopping by from Shell's blog!michellespannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428592993518419232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-46155698218252851372011-06-08T09:13:27.295-04:002011-06-08T09:13:27.295-04:00Such a touching post.

She cried, and cried and I felt like the worst mom on the planet for causing her so much distress. We had to have a bird funeral. It was then I realized how sensitive she had become and how careful I had to be.<br /><br />Of course, a few days later, in the grocery store-she told a Hell's Angels biker that he had a big stomach. I shouted "Quick Amy-run!!"
