An Apology

Ezra's a pretty sweet kid at school. However, the other day his teacher emailed me and told me that he got a "yellow light" for trying to make people laugh by smacking another friend on the butt. Apparently that's not cool in school.

When he got home I asked him about his day and he acted like nothing had happened. I tried to give him some time to open up to me but he clearly wanted to hide it. Finally after my pressing he burst into tears and just sobbed in my arms for about 30 minutes.

I held him and assured him that I loved him and that I loved that he was funny but that we needed to keep some funniness at home.

Then I had him write a letter to his teacher apologizing. Definitely one of those moments that in a weird way makes you love your kid even more.
