Harder Times

While changing endless diapers, nursing, picking up toys, keeping little arms out of the toilet, etc. is tiring and hard, we've definitely reached a harder point of parenthood. This must be the point where it starts being very helpful to have at least half a brain as a parent (preferably more). Children start having real problems (not huge, but real) and it's hard to know what to do all the time. John David had a hard day at school today. I knew it the moment he walked in the door. Apparently, everyone hates him and nobody at all wants to be his friend. It made me sad. =( We talked for quite a while and ended with big hugs and a prayer. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day for him. He's always marched to the beat of his own drum and that has often affected his friendships at school. I wish I could solve it and fix it for him, but I know I just have to help him. I love that boy......
