Tattletale

Tucker's latest milestone...tattling! It's about to make me crazy. As a teacher, tattling was always one of my biggest pet peaves. I implemented a "5 B" rule in my class. My students could only tattle if it was blood, barf, bathroom, bad guy, or bad word. Now my soon-to-be 2-year-old has become a major tattler.

Today we met our friends Danna and Hudson at McDonalds for a lunch/play date. After the boys went NUTS over the sports decorations, we moved our party to the playplace. We endured much screaming of "Touchdown Sooners", "Down, Set, Hut", etc. In the playplace, my son spent the majority of his time tattling on his friend. He came to tell Danna that Hudson (who was standing 5 feet away) hit him on the cheek. I told him that Hudson did not hit him, so off he went. Then when getting told not to open the door, he blamed it on Hudson who was on the other side of the room. We're a little young for the 5 B's so I may just have to hang a big ear on the wall for him to tattle to similar to my daycare employment days!
