Weekend before Thanksgiving

As you know Anya was here and stayed for a few days. When she arrived she brought the boys some toys and each a Ukrainian Traditional Shirt. Brandon loved his shirt and wore it to school on Friday. In the back of my mind I thought they (kids at school) would laugh at him for wearing it but only one kid made a negative comment. And apparently he made the negative comment in the boys room so their teacher could not hear him say anything to Brandon. Luckily Brandon is so unaware or really didn't care because he wore the shirt all day. Anya was impressed he wore it to school, it made her happy he appreciated one gift.
Why was she impressed? The night before when she handed them the toys, one was a truck and the other a helicopter, Brandon had quickly grabbed the truck. Then after playing with it he had decided he wanted a helicopter like his brother. So then he bugged her all night long about why she didn't bring him a helicopter. This confused Anya and she felt bad she didn't bring two of the same toys. I mean he would go play and them come back and ask her again, why she didn't bring him a helicopter. We told her not to worry about it and TRIED to explain to Brandon she didn't have to bring anything and that he should enjoy what he has, which he couldn't.
So then we offered him a choice, one truck toy from Ukraine or nothing. That helped but not really because he doesn't grasp this type of thing. This is where he is a typical two year old and needs to relearn about sharing and receiving gifts etc. It is sad to watch him behave this way but he takes longer learning this type of thing. I hope more time learning he will learn to share and appreciate what he has... I know many kids are like this but this is different. It is not the same as a spoiled child, he is emotionally very behind and times like this it shows.

Now how did Joshua do? Well, he had a great time with Anya on Friday and then Saturday he woke up crying and said he was hot. He had a fever of 102.0 ouch, I then had to tell him it was a day for laying on the couch and watching TV. Since he is a big TV goof this was fine for him. He had to miss a bowling birthday party which made him sad but I would not let him go. He was miserable all day, but by Sunday the fever broke and he was in better spirits. He was still sad Anya had left.
