New Park

It was another day so time to explore and find yet another park. We decided to check out a park in Montgomery. It was recommended to me by another mom in MOPS. Checked it out on mapquest and away we went.
It's a terrific little park complete with two play areas, a sand box, 2 basketball courts, a baseball field and a soccer field. There are also walking streams and a bridge over a little river where the boys could throw stones.
It was a beautiful and sunny day (even though a bit chilly when the wind blew). There were three other moms at the park when we arrived. My boys started playing right away and I tried to discreetly get into the conversations with the other moms. In no time at all I had met all three moms and their boys. There were only boys, crazy!
It was interesting for me to sit back and watch as two of the boys, who are classmates in preschool, somewhat ganged up on Jameson. At one point I even heard one of the boys making fun of him and mocking what he said. It totally broke my heart but I realize that it what happens and I didn't jump up and knock the kids to the ground, even if that was what I really wanted to do. (Heck, you can't deny a mother's protective instincts.)
Besides, I've dealt with an aggressive kid so I know what it's like to be the mom of the troublemaker. I am proud to say that I didn't jump up and say anything and I let the kids work it out on their own.
Although, when Jameson and I had our bed time talk, I asked him if he liked the new park that we found. He said that he did. I asked him if there was anything he didn't like about the park. He told me that he didn't like it when the other boys crashed into his trucks in the sandbox. Then he looked at me and said, "I'll just say, "Please no crash don't into my trucks."" I knew what he meant. He was listening when I told him that earlier, another proud moment. These sure make the less than proud moments that much more insignificant.
