Marleys anxious day

My poor babe. He came out of class with a worried look. On the way home he told me that a boy at his school who is (in a different class) intellectually disabled, at lunch who Marley said was 'getting him like Kanye does'. He did the right thing and told the duty teacher but.......

I'm not sure what he means, if the boy got in his face, tried to hug him or grab him or not leave him alone. I honestly don't know what the boy did but Marley is scared of him. He hasn't stopped talking all afternoon and evening, at times he's cried about it.

To be honest I'm a bit angry and concerned that my 5 year old in his first year of school is scared to go back tomorrow and I know that me of all people should not be judgemental and I'm not. I can't speak.

There were probably times kids didn't want to go to school because of Kanye. I'm not upset with the boy having a disabled child i somewhat understand the boy, I've tried explaining to Marley that he's like Kanye and doesn't talk and might not understand. I'm upset with the feeling it's left in Marley, the worry and fear in his eyes I've seen before when something has happened that he doesn't understand like me leaving him.

He's pleaded with me to stay home tomorrow. He's asked me if it can rain so they have to play inside at lunch and the boy won't 'get him'. He's asked me to make a rocket so he can fly away from the boy. That hurt me. He's so upset, worried and scared that he wants to leave. He's my baby.

I promised him that first thing in the morning I'll talk to his teacher. I worry now for him. Andre keeps saying that I need to power him with the tools to deal with this sort of thing i can do that no problem. I'm actually proud of how he dealt with it and another time when a boy was hitting him he ran away and hid. I think Marley knows what to do its the fact that this sort of thing has happened 3 times this year that makes me feel concerned for him.

Anyway I'll go sort it in the morning and I'll write what happens tomorrow.

Otherwise Kanye has been a bit off. He's had some absence seizures today, he's been a bit teary and just not himself so we put him to bed early. I think he'll have a bigger one. It's been a while so wouldn't surprise me.

Just been watching the opening of the Commonwealth games and every time with out fail mull of Kintyre makes me cry. I don't know why it is but maybe it reminds me of my grandad who is/ was Scottish. I think i have some pull towards my heritage and my descendants especially the farming side of my dad's family and the Scottish side of my grandad. I can not go past a pipe band without stopping and listening/watching. It's a great thing i think ti feel in touch with my heritage. Harper was named after my family who came to chch on the first four ships. They were the Harpers and my nanas great grandparents.

I have to say though some of the places that have popped up during the ceremony i have had to Google like - Guernsey, monteserrat. A lot of the carribbean places. I love any games like the Commonwealth, Olympics and winter Olympics. I really enjoy watching them do sports!
