Sydney, my 6 year old, asked me this morning if she had ever outcluded someone. It took me a moment to decipher what she meant and then I asked do you mean exclude them... she responded yes, you know like don't let someone play with you ... you outclude them. Well I thought about it a minute and I have never really witnessed Sydney outcluding anyone. That is one of the many things that I love about her. She is really aware of how others might be feeling and makes an effort to include everyone when she is playing.Sydney loves to play with Ally and I just hope that as they grow bigger that she will continue to include her as much as she does now.
One of the worries that I have about Ally is if she will be included by her peers.... will they be kind and try to find ways to allow her to play with them? All I can hope is that they will learn a lesson from Sydney and if they ask their moms if they have ever outcluded someone that the answer will be a resounding no!
"outcluded" so cute! and so sweet that she is concerned about it. she will be a great advocate for her little sister!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great big sister and such adorable girls you have!
ReplyDelete"In-clude".... "Out-clude".... makes sense to me! :) Knowing her heart, I would imagine that Syd always look out for her little sister and make sure everyone "in-cludes" her!
