I'm sure someday my child will be the meanie but right now he's just a happy excited 2 year old and I was so hurt lol

I know! Luckily the mom was nearby and admonished him and later while the kid was occupied with something else, she let my kid play w the car. When the kid came and protested his mom said, "well *im* playing with him" and was very kind so I felt better. But I was really sad when he was so mean!

I think it's more heartbreaking bc they are so little and wholeheartedly excited and have no idea yet that other kids can be mean! Like you're about to ruin this little innocent baby 😭

Yes! Those are all actually the same letter viewed from diff POVs 😩 we haven't started lowercase letters but I anticipate it being an issue

Also we have daily confusion between 6 and 9 - he tilts his head upside down each time and asks "6? 9? 6? 9? Upside down?"

I'm sorry child, it is all very confusing for no reason at all!
