Today Cameron was supposed to have a fun filled afternoon with his Grandparents, my parents, for FINALLY being potty trained. The day started out great with Cam playing hide and seek with Grandpa then reading about 3.2 million story books with Grandma. Then came time for McDonald's. Apparently Cam had misunderstood who was taking him to McDonald's and became very upset when he discovered both Grandma and Grandpa were taking him. He informed them that, no, that was not acceptable, that only Grandpa would be taking him. So my poor mom was left behind while Grandpa and Cam had their own little play date.
Things like this make we wonder what I'm supposed to say? On one hand, Cam was just trying to express his need for play time with Grandpa, after all in the adult world we get to choose who we play with, shop with, live with. On the other, I think my mother's feeling were quite hurt, understandable to a point considering the way it all went down. How do I teach him how to be nice, take people's feeling into consideration and still be able to make decisions on who and how he plays? Maybe I am over thinking this.
I do think it is pretty cute that Cam wanted Grandpa though, I think this may be the first outing of any of the grand kids to be just with him. I always knew my kids were his favorite! kidding...kinda anyway :)
