What a wonderfully busy day did Jas and I have. With her daddy away we went into town to the science museum and historical museum. We went out to lunch and this evening we were invited to my sisters house for a party. One of the young ladies from the dojo is moving north for an internship in DC so this was her going away party. The day was very nice, until the drive home. Jas was telling me that her oldest cousin (13) told her she couldn't hang out with her and the older kids (understandable, but not to a 10 year old who looks up to her), and the one just below her blew her off for the other kids from the dojo leaving Jas to play with the little kids ages 4-7 or sit with the adults. Her poor feelings were hurt, but she didn't want her cousins in trouble so she didn't say anything until we were on our way home. I tried to tell her that this kind of stuff is going to happen and that it didn't mean her cousins didn't like her anymore it is just life. It is hard to explain this to a child who is in tears.
Well, she is now taking her shower before bed so she gets up and isn't grumpy for church and Sunday School.
