My child the bully???

Went to the mall today to find a vacuum. I got the Bissell Pet Hair Erasure. This will come in handy when my mom's dogs are here as they are Springer Spaniels and shed quite a bit. I also got a Star Wars Lego shirt for Jensyn who said she wanted one even though they are boy shirts. She said that one of her friends has a Star Wars shirt and she's a girl. Can't argue with that. When I got home there was a message from Dr. Hamati, who is Aiden's Neurologist. She said that some of the tests have come back from his muscle biopsy and they are normal. We are now waiting for the mitochondrial tests to come back which will take about 6 weeks. I'm not sure what the tests were that already came back, but so far so good.

I'm having some trouble with my daughter. Apparently she's been harrasing one of her best friends. There are three good friends and us mommies will put notes in their lunch boxes every day. One of the girls decided that she would rather keep her notes private between her and her mom instead of sharing them with the others. Well I guess Jensyn wasn't happy with that decision and decided to bully her friend for days to try and get her to share her notes. I am appalled!!!!!! I can't believe this is my daughter, in place of the little girl who was always so compassionate. So she is in major trouble. I have taken away Chuck E Cheese for tomorrow (she will sit and watch her brothers play), and she is grounded for the next three school days. She will come home, do her homework, go to her room, come out for dinner, and then go to her room again until bed. While in her room she will write a long sincere letter of apology to her friend and she will write an essay on how she thinks her friend feels. I also got some books from the library about bullying that she will read. This may sound harsh for an 8 year old, but she's going to learn that what she did was horrible and that she needs to change. I'm hoping she will go back to that innocent, compassionate little girl that she once was, even if I have to beat it back into her :)
