October 20, 2012 - No Boy Today

Today the Boy went to camp with the cubs.  It was a one-day thing and he was gone from lunch time until bedtime.  It was weird not having him around the house.  The Girl missed him a lot even though he is normally pretty mean to her.  When we went shopping there was no fighting and I found myself yelling less all day!

We got a lot of party preparations done today, which is easier when the Girl wants to help.  When the Boy got home he was pumped and tired from his long day.  Normally he can't remember what he did all day, but tonight he had lots to tell me.  He even recited an entire story that he heard during the day.  I am glad he had fun, but I wish he hadn't made his sister cry within moments of walking into the house.  He saw her kinder egg toy and assumed that it was his.  She cried and told him it was hers.   He eventually gave it back, mumbling something about being sorry.  Why is he so mean to her!?
