A Case of First Impressions

L had his first playdate at a school friend’s house yesterday.  He had a fabulous time and didn’t want to come home after.  This morning when I dropped L off at school that same friend came and gave him an enormous hug.  L with a big smile on his face hugged him back.  You wouldn’t believe it now, but that same boy was in L’s opinion the school bully at the beginning of the year.  L spent his first 6 months of school purposefully playing anywhere where that boy was not.  Turns out this boy is not mean spirited just enthusiastic.
