Day 4

Last night Joey went to be fairly decent. 4mg of melatonin, NO SODA, and he was asleep by 8pm. Only issue was his choice to sleep with mom on the couch and mom wasn't quite ready for bed at 7:30pm. Little brother Jon wanted to sleep with mom too so I managed to get both of them to settle down in the Living Room, turned off the lights and told them I'd join them later. By 8pm they were both snoring away :)

Both slept until about 6am so that was great too!!! Joey's all ready for school, an apple and half a bagel for breakfast and off we go! I hope he's as good at school today as he was at home yesterday afternoon seeing as there's no meds to help him.

Still have to decide if I want to give my intelligent child who chooses to not show his intelligence appropriately, a break from school by not deciding to send him to summer school OR send him for the whole thing which is 2hrs of Math (which he excels in so it would be fun and a good learning experience) and 2hrs of Reading (which he can use the help in though he's at an appropriate reading level for moving forward to 1st grade it's just the lowest you can be to move forward in this school). The kid has gone to school pretty much non-stop since the summer he turned 3yrs old.

Joshua my 5yr old passed his Kindergarten screening with flying colors. Getting ready for Kindergarten summer school is usually for kids who aren't quite 'there' yet but he's a really super shy kid so this might be a great help in transitioning him to the classroom and environment. Contemplating sending him just to get him out of the house!

Think Think Think!!!

The only person available at Children's today was the nurse practitioner and she was not comfortable doing anything so we're on hold with meds until the pediatrician comes back from vacation next week. Our family meeting is just 10 days away!!!!  On a good note he had a good day at school today, no phone calls at least!!
