Bully at the playground

So i have a situation that I would love your opinions on:)

So today I took Addy to go meet her little friends at McDonalds. They have a lovely little play room that traps the kids inside and they can run free. Now, I realized once we got there that my little is a bit young for this type of thing but we were making it work. Anyways, obviously there were other kids there of all ages. So there was this one little girl..I am going to say she was 4ish?? With her grandparents I am guessing?? Anyways..get to the point...well the point is that she shoved Addy over while I was standing right there. I was a little shocked, and it caught me off guard. Addy didn't seem to be too fazed by this so she kept going and I just politely and calmly said to the little girl, please don't push sweetie..meanwhile in my head I had a few other choice words. Well, later on Addy went climbing up the stairs, and I followed, as again she is still a little bit to little and I don't trust her on those things. The "shover" was at the top of the stair as the little kids were coming up. I said to her be careful sweetie the little kids are coming up..still calm and polite at this point..and all of a sudden she shoves Addy in the face. Now if I hadn't been there, my child would have proceeded to go flying down the stairs backwards. Tears came this time, and I took her away immediately...poor little thing had even a scratch on her face from this kid. So heres the thing..I was annoyed..I know it was a kid but I was annoyed. I know she was with her grandparents..but I was annoyed. So my question is, what would you have done?? A part of me wanted to tell her grandparents, part of me wanted to say something to the kid, but she isn't my kid...but instead I just walked away..because I am new to this whole thing:) Now, I am all for kids, of the same age working stuff out, fighting over toys, learning how to share, or not share because they just aren't there yet...but physical stuff, that just doesn't sit right with me. Anyways, anyone else have something like this happen? What did you do, or what would you do? And yes I know my kid is going to have run ins in life, and I an't always protect her...but you know, when you are standing right there, and thats your BABY...it sucks!

I love this girl






Todays post is all about this little girl:) I love her. I can even say this after I wanted to rip out my hair today because she is cutting eye teeth and the whining never stops! Anyways, through it all, I still adore her, and she still melts my heart, makes me laugh and more and more I am in complete awe of this little creature.






These are some pictures from last month when we had our one and only big snow dump. It lasted a day, it was fun, daddy stayed home from work and than it was gone. But let me tell ya, we loved the snow. I have never seen this child sit so still for so long so content and fasinated with her surroundings. It was lovely. So what am I trying to say; well this kid is a little bit of a busy one:) She doesn't really stop moving unless she is sleeping and even than I am sure she flips and wiggles constantly all night.






She is such a ham! seriously, this kid cracks us up. She is so dramatic(I wonder where she got that from??:)), a comic, and a constant ever changing world of wonder.






She talks non stop and comes up with new words every day. Her favorites have always been and if you spent a day in our house you would hear a million times over, "whats that?", "where is he?", "oh daddy", "mama, mommy!", "there you are!", "oh baby," and my favorite right now is her singing of "baby babapa"..which of course is baby baluga:) Oh, and there is a little dance to go with it!






Than there are those moments when she makes me eyes fill with tears. The other day we were singing, and playing games, and I started to sing Jesus loves me, and immediatly she ran over to her books and picked up her little book, called Jesus loves me...really, really? So smart..what can I say! you ask her where jesus is and she will point to her heart:)



She is also our child in the sense that she finds bodily functions humorous..burping, farting, well thats just cheap laughs for that girl:) I love when she does something, finds it funny and than asks you what it is..like blowing raspberries. Like hey mom, look what I can do, but what the heck is it!






And the hugs, everyone, and everything gets hugs, even her computer...I love this girl...
