We have our routine down. Ashton and I both get up early. He goes and gets Riley breakfast and I get Riley dressed for school. Then Ashton takes Riley to school on his way to the studio. Then I pick him up from school.

This morning was the same. I yawned walking into Riley's room and flipped the light on. I grabbed him some clothes then walked over and knelt down by his bed,

"Riley" I cooed, "Time to wake up"

Riley hummed and rolled over to face me,

"Good morning Mommy" he yawned. I kissed his head and helped him from bed, getting his clothes on him and taking him downstairs.

"I don't wanna go to school" Riley mumbled to both Ashton and I. Ashton sighed. He's told me that every morning it's a fight to get Riley out of the car,

"I'm sorry buddy, but you have to go" I told him. He looked down at his waffle,

"Riley, you won't even be there all day today. Remember, Mommy's going to pick you up early because you have to go to the doctor" Ashton leaned forward, his elbows on the counter.

Riley just nodded and started eating. Ashton sighed and headed upstairs to get ready. I guess that meant I was to talk to Riley,

"Bubba, why don't you want to go?" I asked, lifting him and taking his seat then putting him on my lap,

"Because they laugh at me" he spoke,

"Why do you they laugh at you?" I asked, a little mad at these kids now,

"Because I have a necklace and necklaces are for girls. And because I can't play as long as them because I get tired and my heart hurts" he told me.

His lip was now trembling and a tear fell. My four year old was getting bullied for something he can't control. He has to wear the necklace. It has all his medical information on it in case something happens with his heart,

"I'm sorry they're laughing at you. Me and Daddy will talk to Miss Julia" I sighed and kissed his head. He nodded and sniffled, telling me he was really crying,

"Look who's awake" Ashton walked back in, Landyn in his arms, but his big happy vibe stopped when he saw Riley crying,

"Hey Ri, why don't you and Landyn go watch tv before you have to go" I said and put him on his feet. He nodded and took Landyn's hand and they walked over to the couch.

"Why's he crying?" Ashton asked,

"He's getting picked on because he wears a necklace and because he can't play as long as the other kids" I told him. Ashton looked mad instantly,

"I'm going to email them when you guys leave" I calmed him. Ashton nodded and looked towards the living room,

"Okay" he sighed and looked at the clock, "Riley! Time to go"

Both Riley and Landyn walked in. I picked Landyn up and followed Ashton and Riley to the mud room. Ashton tied Riley's shoes then grabbed his backpack and Tigger stuffed animal,

"I'll pick you up after lunch" I kissed Riley's head,

"Bye bye bubba" Landyn waved. Ashton laughed and kissed us then left with Riley.

"Wiley sad?" Landyn asked with a tilt of his head,

"Yeah. Some people are being mean to him" I explained. Landyn nodded with a yawn,
