Altercation Over A Book

Yesterday I came home from work and learned that our sweet little Gwen got written up at daycare.   Turns out there was an altercation in the library over a book.  Gwen shoved another kid which caused them to fall and split their lip open.  I laughed when I found out.  I was actually relieved.  After her getting bit at daycare 3 times in 2 weeks, I was afraid that she was being bullied by all the boys (there are only 2 girls in a room of 10).  Turns out she's not! 

I tried taking a picture of the Incident Report, so I could post it, but it didn't come out well.  Here are some details:

Nature of Incident"Gwen pushed another child while standing in the library causing that child to cut their lip."

Action Taken: "I redirected her away and talked to her about using her words so friends don't get hurt"

The actions taken is my favorite part.  Hopefully next time she will think about using her words rather than shoving someone.  Um, she's not even 2.  I know that Gwen gets very upset when she gets in trouble, so hopefully being "talked to" will be enough so that this is only a one time deal.
