The Church Bully

For the past 4 weeks we have been dropping Joseph off at the church nursery during mass. They have a huge room with a ton of toys and it sure beats sitting in the crying room, where you can't hear anything, or trying to keep him quiet during the mass, although we think the constant "da da da" is adorable we're pretty certain the other churchgoers don't feel the same way. I have been going to a moms group/playgroup during the week at the church and one of the moms mentioned the nursery and raved about the ladies who take care of the kids so we figured we'd give it a try. Joseph loves it and the ladies love him. He is the youngest that attends and he just scoots/crawls around and is into everything but is as happy as can be when we drop him off and pick him up and always gets good reports. Well, until, recently...when we picked him up on Sunday he was his usual happy self and the ladies just started laughing when we walked in. They said that he was "chasing" around and "bothering" a 3 year old and the 3 year old started to get upset. The ladies told us that they told the 3 year old to run and hide from Joseph. All we (and the ladies) could do was laugh, really. Our 9 month old is bullying a 3 year old? Really? We'll have to work on that!

There's no way this smile could belong to that of a bully
Well, maybe...
No, not Joseph...
Ok, we'll definitely work on being nice to others!
