The rain was to return, so we decided to go get one more energy busting playground time in. We returned to Hockinson. Today it was almost empty. We started off with the littles playing with the other two kids that were there. But then something transpired between the little man and one of the others. All I saw was a tackle and the little man holding the other kid down. I yelled, that kids dad yelled and then went off. The little man ran away up the structure with the man telling him how he would be whipping his ass if he was his kid and me berated for not going up the play structure and bringing him down. Yeah right. I was working on trying to understand what happened and the little man is much faster than me. Those folks left the playground. I was in a quandary of going home or letting him work that out.
About that time our new friend Tor and his grandson showed up. So the two boys then played. A little rough but no one got hurt and they burned off a lot of energy. The little woman got in on it.
I have to have a little chat with the little man about proper playground etiquette. But it needs to be at a time when he hears me, not when he is scared of punishment.
And now we welcome the rain back.
