uh oh...




m love is at it again. yesterday he swung from the curtain at school and it ripped out of the wall rod and all. then today he called someone a chicken butt and the kid said it back and he turned and hit him in the nose. wtf? really? the wii has been evicted from our house. the teacher said some kids can handle video games some cannot. i have one that can't. he doesn't know what's real and make believe
last week he was a a dream. great at school and at home. lots of praise and rewards for his actions. like we are supposed to do. then this. i understand one week does not change a thing but there is no consistency. life is not predictable or easy.

even though he was bad today i spent some time with him and made home made biscuits. fun to do and it was one on one time for us. a yummy reward and teaches great math skills too. it required 3 cups of flour - and after the first cup i asked "how many more cups?". he answered "two" right away. impressive for me as i sometimes drill him math on the way to school and i can tell he is using his fingers. it also taught him how to read 1/2 and what it looked like compared to 1. the little rewards is all i can ask for.
here is the biscuit recipe...
