In our new neighborhood (across the street from our house) there is a girl who is about 1 year older than IBD. We were so excited as she did not have this back in FL. They wait for the bus every morning together and seem to get along fine.
After a week or so they had a play date at her house. Little IBD had funn, no problems that I know of.
THe next weekend we had a playdate at our house. THe girls were playing together just fine. I had to "get onto them" for playing in the closet under the stairs and without a comment they went back up to the play room. They started playing hideand seek. THe child arosss the street (lets call her X) started climbing on the posts of my stair well. I asked her to get down as we did not do that in our house and besides it was dangerous. X and little IBD played for about 5 minutes more and then all of a sudden X ran down the stairs, out the front door (left it open), and ran across to her house. When I called for her she just ignored me. Litlle IBD ran down the stairs asking her what was wrong but she was ignored as well. I called the mother to let her know that X was on her way home and she told me that they think she is hypoglycemic? Litte IBD worried about this and still does b/c she can not figure out what she did wrong.
Today waiting for the bus the girls were getting along fine. They were playing with sidewalk chalk. It was getting close to the bus to arrive so I asked little IBD to go and put up the chalk. X ran into the garage to get it. Little IBD told her (not yelling but firmly) "we are not playing with that anymore" X ran past her, and me, grabbed her booksack and headed to her house. I told X that she had to stay on our driveway as her mom put me in charge in the mornings waiting for the bus. She said to me "OK, but I am not standing by little ibd". I asked X to come to me. I explained to her that I had asked little IBD to put up the chalk. She turned and started walking away from me. :shock: Then I asked her nicely to come back. I explained to her that for her to be mad/ugly at little IBD was not the right thing to do b/c little IBD was obeying meand that we wanted to be ready for the bus when it came. X walked back to the street and little IBD went to stand by her. X then moved about 8 feet from little IBD and would not look at her at all.
THe look on little IBD's face broke my heart. She is confused as what she did. Which in my opinion is nothing.

Now look who's misbehaving!!
(hard for a young child to grasp, esp. since x does not seem to understand this concept)
I can hear it now...."why did you move back?" me- "oh, well a little girl across the street upset little ibd so we left." 
You and canuck just need to come and visit. Oh, PM me his cell number. Mr. IBD wanted to have it.....
