Bad report

So I picked up Peyton from Miss Pat's (childcare) yesterday. When I got there, Peyton was crying and very fussy. So, you know, I am thinking this is going to be just a wonderful evening. Then Pat tells me that Peyton has been like this all day. Then said that he had kicked and hit this other little boy, Evan. Apparently he also threw something at him. She said he was completely unprovoked, that Peyton just stood there and chunked a little toy backpack at him. Who knows! This is the part about being a working Mommy that really bothers me. I don't like the idea that I am not there to correct him on the spot when he does things like this. I don't know what made him do it, although I can say that Peyton bit into the inside of my thigh (you know, right where all the fat is...yeah, it hurt. He drew blood)the other day while we were playing and "tickling" his friend that was over. So, I somewhat think he is just trying to play and doesn't know quite how to engage the target that he wants as his playmate. I think some of this also stems from the fact that he is not around very many kids his age on a daily basis. In an case, it is not acceptable. So, we threatened him with his Thomas movies that he usually watches at home. If we got another bad report like that, then no Thomas. Today I called at lunch to check on him, and she said he is doing great! Never underestimate the power of Thomas....
