Love Playing With The Sand

William and the sand box

Wed 8:30 AM; William went straight to the sand box right after I dropped him off.   Everyone says he loves to play with the sand.  He used the Lego block that he took from home to scoop up the sand.  At some point he almost lied on the sand; now the sand is all over his jacket & pants.  (He always takes 1 thing with him to school but never brings it back)

I was about to leave when I saw this boy Zackerie tried to take the Lego away from William’s hand.  William refused to give it, so Zackerie kicked the sand toward William.   Mrs. Rose Mary & Nancy were there but they didn’t see that scene.  I waved my hand and approached William.  Mrs. Nancy saw me waving so she came to me and asking what’s wrong.  I told her what just happened. She said “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him”; and turned to Zackerie who was still hanging around the sand box, “This is William’s mom; Be nice to your friend, ok?”

I heard stories from Ms. Annie, Han & Celestie about some kids at this day care are not nice to William.  Some twins don’t want to share, they block the slide so that William can’t use it.   And Dominique always picks on William.  This is the first time that I saw it with my own eyes.

This is a small environment and William doesn’t fit it well, how can he survive in Kinder Garden, which will be next year because he’s 4 now? As a Mom I’m feel worried and sad.
