Thanks! I love him. He's getting that bad twinkle to his eyes, and he ADORES bubba. Jasper just wanders around crying when he can't find the kids. It's only been two days!

Wishing (and others) I'm wondering if communication isn't a big part of bubba's problems. I wonder if he's not able to make himself understood and argues? He's very adamant that yesterday he did not pull cards; on the way home yesterday I asked if he was good and he said "very super good." So I wonder if yesterday there was a mix up. Regardless, I'll be meeting with the teacher soon.

He's an extremely willful kid with a lot of passion. DD was easy; if we were disappointed then she was heartbroken. She cried yesterday because they kept distracting the puppy during potty time and I told her if he had an accident inside, she was cleaning it up. She felt bad that she had distracted him.

But bubba... We do timeouts, take toys or tv time, send to his room, spank, extra chores, whatever. He clearly understands the consequences, but I think he believes the punishment is worth the crime. He's so extremely willful. And sweet, and helpful, and compassionate. He has strong leadership skills, just have to figure out how to make him think the good behavior was his idea.

I'm sure strangers who observe his behavior would think he's never met a correction or disciplinary action in his life. He's active and does what he wants, when he wants. And that's why sometimes I'm the mom pushing a howling 4yo in the buggy through the store, because I don't negotiate with terrorists.

OMGosh, Love this Camping, cracking me up yet very insightful. He is 4, He is of the male persuasion. IMO too young to start school but if they are doing well then why not. Pretty sure you got this mama .

mornings, Tom is sitting over there all dressed , didnt take his water pill ,ready to go with my wallet and keys. I am not awake yet and wish to go no where. Whats the big hurry ? I need a gallon of milk. He dont even drink milk. All the way to town for a gal. of milk. Sometimes I miss my corner stores.

The pre-k program here is very good. I think he really needs the structure and socialization (and speech therapy) this year to prepare him for "real school" next year. Pre-k is modestly following rules, modifying behavior, setting routines, learning numbers and letter sounds, things like that. They do lots of playing and art projects. And they nap!

you know, I could nap already. I dont know whats wrong with me. I sent Robert to pre-school. It didnt help him with social skills but we didnt know he was autistic at the time either. He got held back in kindergarden too. age was part of it or an excuse we used but he still just wasnt ready.

Oh Linda. Im sure you already know..there is no changing your dad. He will never learn (the nice way).
Have you seen the show on Netflix...Living in SMALL spaces....(the name is something like that)
Can you find even a two bedroom apt for now?

Jane...I am a master of making excuses! lol I have become very lazy and am trying (Im sure not hard enough) to change.

Granny...good luck with the teacher and get me some milk too! I just recently (like on Tuesday) discovered I actually like cereal!

Camp...Bubba will grow out of "it" what ever it is. Just don't ever give in.

Wishing...you are too cool!

H2O...Im heading back to the PO now

He likes to get out of the house? Give him something to do maybe?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

yes, he likes to be drove around and I am at the point where I hate driving. too much of that goes on here. I buy a couple gallons at one time hoping it will help but it dont. It will just be bread or meds. something.
