Okay so much for going to bed early last night I am pretty sure it was around 1:30 am before I got to sleep. UGH!!!

You know I always knew children could be cruel. I was also the target of the bullies when I went to elementary school. Somehow it hurts so much more when it is your child being the target and there is just nothing you can do to make it better. After karate last night, Colby and I are talking in the car and all of sudden he just bursts into tears. I get a little concerned and ask him what is wrong. Mom he says why do the kids hate me and pick on the kids that talk to me and make them not talk or play with me too. Okay so my heart aches for him because sadly there is just no easy answer. He does have one really good friend at school that he plays with every day Michaela (sp?) and I am so thankful for her. She doesn't care what anyone else says she has decided that Colby is here very good friend and sticks to her beliefs. Now that is friend all the way. I also tried to tell him when he goes to the new school next year there will be so many new kids that he can make friends with and get away from all of these bullies. Is answer what if there are even more bullies. I also told him that I didn't care what anyone said or did that I and his dad love him very much and no matter what always remember that. I always worry you hear all of these horror stories about the kids that get picked on in school and then commit suicide because of it. I don't think it will ever come to that but then again I don't think those other parents thought there children would do that either. Please I pray that next year gets better for him. He really is a sensitive boy. He comes across gruff but a lot of it comes out of frustration and sadness. I am also so thankful for his 2 other really good friends Dane and Luke. They really are nice boys.

Okay well needed to vent but I have to go now. Talk to you later.
