Today when Michael got Alex off the bus he said it was written all over his little face that he'd been bad at school. He'd been talking and disrupting class and just making trouble in general. So another sad face for the day. It all seems to be occuring in the late afternoon so we may try to up his bedtime a bit and see if more sleep helps. Right now he goes to bed around 8:15 on school nights. Tonight we're going to bump it up to 7:45 and see how that works.
We did set him down and tell him that he is not going camping this weekend with us. Only problem is that means that Mom and Dad don't get to go either. We don't see it fair to dump him off on my Mom and Dad for the weekend and disrupt their plans. So Michael and I decided that IF he can get a smiley the next 2 days we will go and let him go. He just doesn't know that. Right now he is absolutely devastated that he is not going camping because he thinks that Mommy and Daddy are going anyway. He just laid on the couch and cried like I've never seen him cry before. We think that this may be just what he needs. Tough Love as hard as it is.
I forgot to mention that they got a lima bean out of his ear yesterday. Not sure how that got there since he doesn't eat them. We shelled some at Amy's on Monday so I guess that's where it came from. Who knows. They flushed it out of his ear yesterday at the Dr. Took a lot of work and the possibility of going to an ENT. ACK!!
