I really like it here!
Every day after school I ask my boys to rate their day...Good, Great or Fantastic. I usually get great or fantastic and very few goods and almost never a bad. Friday when I picked up, I asked the usual, "How was your day?", and Sam answered, "Great", and Isaac said "I had a really, really bad day!" I asked why and he said that an older boy made him get in trouble 16 times during recess. Apparently he was following Isaac around and telling the recess teachers that he was doing "bad" things. He said he tried to tell the teachers that the boy was lying and he wasn't doing anything wrong, etc, but to no avail. So we went throught he usual "What can you do better next time" and all that. When we got home he went straight to his room, and, after a few minutes, I went in to ask if he was ok and gave him a hug. I asked if he was glad to be home and he said "Yeah, I really like it here!" You know how we are always trying to make sure our homes are a refuge from the world and a place of safety and peace and love? Well, if ever a 7 year old could say those words, Isaac said them with that simple statement, "I really like it here!" I really like it here, too.

Cute. It sounds like you're doing a great job as mommy. Keep up the good work.
I bet it was the best to hear that! That gives me chills! We all want to hear that from our children eventually...good job!
Aww, that is so cute! One of those mommy-paycheck moments. Love it!
I love it when you know you're doing something right and your child actually LIKES being with you and BEING HOME. John and I are always talking about how we want our home to be a safe-haven from the rest of the world and a place of comfort. I think Isaac thinks that your home IS all of those things.
But... I do hope that his days get better at school. That's so hard.
