Our theme for now is "Loving your neighbor". Today something happened to T that was an excellent example.
Today at church a little girl walked across the room to T, reached out, and gave his cheek a big, finger-nail-digging-into-skin, unprovoked, pinch. Then she walked away. It left an angry welt on his cheek just below his eye. "Ice! I want ice!" he cried.
Later this afternoon, he randomly- lightly, not even leaving a mark- pinched my arm.
"Why?" I asked. "Did you like it when A pinched you or did you cry?"
"I cried. Ice!" he replied.
"It hurt, didn't it? If you didn't like being pinched, do you think you should pinch?"
"No."
He gave me a hug.
Sigh.
Toddlers.
Well, just us.
Monkey see, monkey do.
