the kids are testing me

It's nice when the teacher stops you to compliment your 4 year old's sense of humor.

It's another thing when she stops you to say "you are in charge. He is strong-willed, and smart. Make sure he knows you are in charge"

Oh crap.

Again, it's nice that others in positions of authority see that he is smart. But to warn me about it, that's scary.

But it also puts me on my guard and makes me questions whether or not that milk cup got knocked over or if he's getting revenge. I don't want to question my babies' motives. It's nice that they are smart enough to have motives but why can't I assume they are still innocent?

Just for a little while more, please.
