Mama's got eyes in the back of her head!

(This happened 2 weeks ago)
Brad and I took the boys to daycare and had a "date day" for Brad's 30th birthday.  We went to pick them up (earlier than usual) and opened the door to Brodie's classroom.  All of the kids were seated in a circle listening to the teacher read a story.  Right as I opened the door, I witnessed Brodie pushing another child next to him.  My mama instinct took over and I called out, "Brodie, what are you doing?" Well, since the teacher now knew that I saw it, I had to look like the disciplinarian that I am and follow through.  He jumped up and ran over to me, huge smile on his face, his arms outstretched for his hugs from us.  I stood still like a stone wall (Stonewall Mama) and refused to show affection until he went back to apologize to the little boy.  He drug his feet and kept saying no, until he saw I wasn't going to cave and he did the right thing.  The teacher didn't go into specifics, but it sounded like the other boy started it.  All I can say is, he doesn't have to finish it with his fists.  Ms. R explained that in the 3 year old class he is to use his words and tell the boy to stop.  Good luck at home with little brother Braden, he doesn't understand that yet!
