Remember in preschool when we had Ben the Biter? (Rachel reminded me of him this morning when she told me about ANOTHER bad Benjamin.) Now we have Ben the obnoxious kid in the extended day portion of Summer Laureates. On Tuesday, he kicked Rachel in the legs. Today, on the playground, he grabbed her around the neck and almost choked her, and then he stepped on her foot, on purpose. He was wearing sneakers, and so it hurt.
He also attacked Sidney, who (regretfully on our part) is in Rachel's Summer Laureates class, along with Rachel's bestie, Kira (yay! But Kira and Sidney don't like each other, so, Rachel says, they generally try to avoid interacting.)
After Ben's little torture session today, Rachel told us she did what Drew had suggested and talked to a staff member, who made him walk at the head of the line next to the grownups. Drew is going to talk to the staff tomorrow morning, which will involve a detour there (Rachel takes the bus.) In the meantime, he suggested tonight that if Ben bothers them again, Sidney should just sit on him (she's slightly bigger and stronger than Rachel), and then Rachel should tickle him into submission. Not sure that's the best solution, but at least Drew plans to say something.
