Day 104 | bloody nose

I'm being super lazy this week as today was my third day in a row working Lil Rippers.  I took the "handful", a cute five year old named Ransom who has been in Whistler Kids all week.  When Mom dropped him off in the morning, she said he was super tired and she was hoping he could have an easy day.  Done!  We spent the entire morning doing anything but snowboarding.  We colored, we ate cheese and crackers, we made paper airplanes, we played outside in the snow, we got a bloody nose (not me) .... we ate lunch.

Betty taught the second Lil Ripper, a cute, very polite and very well behaved five year old girl named Phoebe and Phoebe was not impressed with Ransom and his impolite and sometimes annoying behavior.  After lunch, we were all playing on the "igloo" and after countless warnings for not sharing, Random hit Betty with a ski pole.  I immediately took him into the den for a time out.  He was not very happy about that!  And the girl working the den was a hard ass as she made him sit, facing the wall with his hands on his knees.  I was just going to make him sit in there for ten minutes but she had a better tactic.  After fighting it for less than a minute, he eventually sat there quietly and did his time, which was only about ten minutes.

Ransom was a level two and has been able to snowboard down to the village for the past few days.  After his time out, he decided he wanted to snowboard so we ran down to the village three times before the day was over and Mom picked him up.
