Book?!

WHERE IS THAT BOOK?

No tracking info for my delivery.  Naturally.  I'm like the person in the movie who has terrible luck.

Grant's bad day continued yesterday.  In the morning, he shoved his desk angrily into his neighbors desks without provocation.  He refused to do his journal writing, and sat with his head down.  Later, he yelled, "STOP IT!" to his amazing teacher from last year because she said she liked his haircut in the hallway.  In the afternoon, he was assigned a partner for a paired activity, and....(seriously, wouldn't you know it?) it was the one kid in the class he has had real animosity from and toward.  So he screamed and yelled and wouldn't do it.

The teacher wrote all of this to me.  I wrote her back that she was going to later regret allowing him to refuse her.  I did not add that I would probably regret it, also.  I suggested that next time she have him give up recess time to do anything he refused to do when it was assigned.

Thanks, Lady, for teaching him that it is not necessary to comply with authority.  Awesome.

I made him write an apology to his former teacher - in cursive. 

If I weren't broke, there is someone I would like to send chocolates to today.  She just found out that she has not one, but two kids who are gifted and have ADHD.  I wring my heart for those who discover that their fears are to be realized.  At least, this being her second, she knows the path, and is not out there discovering it alone.  Subliminal hugs on 3.  Ready?

Book, book.  Need the book.

My kids have never been tested for any of that.  I'm pretty sure Grant suffers from serious anxiety.  No idea about the rest.  I am curious.  I wonder how much it costs...

And where's that BOOK!
