Greg looked quite glum when I went to fetch him from childcare over the past two days. Two days ago, he had a fight with a little Malay boy a month younger than him in class. Apparently that boy was holding onto a storybook and in the midst of the argument, he used that storybook to hit Greg on his forehead. A slice of Greg's forehead skin came off, and the wound was quite raw. When I fetched him at childcare two days ago, he came to me pointing at his forehead and said, "Mummy, Ismail used storybook and hit me here. So painful you know." His form teacher has also informed me of the incident.
Apparently, Greg went to scratch the skin off yesterday when the wound healed and his teacher had to plaster it as the blood was oozing out. Greg was again upset when I went to fetch him at childcare yesterday. He complained to me sadly, "It's all Ismail's fault.. I am upset with Ismail. See... now I have to put plaster on my forehead!" I could sense his anguish and anger.We had a little discussion on what he could do the next time he gets himself into another fight. Well, I guess it's going to take Greg a little while more to be on good terms with Ismail again..look at how unhappy he was in the photo above!
Remember the last time Greg asked me why an old lady used an umbrella even when it wasn't raining at all? Well, yesterday I was amazed that he was trying to apply what he has learnt from my that conversation with him. We were in the car. I was driving and he sitted in his car seat behind. Weather was extremely hot yesterday even in the evening.
Greg: Mummy, where's my umbrella? I need my umbrella..
Mummy: Why do you need an umbrella for in the car?
Greg: It's hot here. The sun is on me.. I want to use my umbrella to cover myself. It's too bright and I don't want the sun to shine on me..
Mummy: ??? But you are in a car ... !!!????
Well, he's right that an umbrella can be used both on a rainy and a sunny day.. hmmm..
