It has occured to me recently that Brandon tantrums are a lot less. When he is having one he actaul is learning how to have them appropriately. Now some whould say how do you have an appropriate tantrum.??
Well, it used to be he would hit and scream and bang his head. Now he is able to say what is upsetting him (some of the times) and he is leaving before he can hurt anyone and he is going outside and jumping on the small tramperline. Or hits some tennis balls. He is maturing in some ways. Last night when he begam so overwhelmed he cried and cried. He had to be told to lay in his sleeping area and he wept. Then he was able to get over his obsession of something that really wasnt' there but thought he would need. Another trait we are starting to work. Obsessing over what his brother has and he thinkgs he has to have.

Running into the door
So this morning as usual, my boys are bickering at each other. I get so frustrated with it and sad. It is so hard to watch them not get along and then I get so agitated that I want to scream. Needless to say as usual, one gets quiet and wants to leave and the other gets clingy.
Well Josh (quiet one) said he didn't deserve something and starts to head out the door for the bus. He won't need me. I know it is his way of punishing me and him. So I ask him to stop and tell him I need a hug. He looks at me and says he does NOT need a kiss and hug good bye. I then look at him and say.. I know you don't but I NEED a hug and kiss. He glares and me and smiles... so I take two giant steps to him and he turns to run away... smiling
BUT meanwhile his brother has approached the front door and has open it and the door was wide open... so Josh goes and runs into the door. SMACK the tears come. I hold him while he cries and he clings to me. At least I know he is not that upset with me that he still needs me.
Oh that is what it was... they both (after bickering) decided they didn't deserve a big 50" TV (Don is buying one today) and I am like the TV is not for you it is for their dad. Then the boys want to know what their Dad did to deserve a TV!! Uhm he doesn't fight?!?!

This is how my son went to school today. Originally he had on a Tank top and shorts, but I got a T-shirt over the tank top.... The shoes are dress shoes with black shocks. I hope kids in the third grade are not too worried about fashion. I know my kid is not... Life is short you can't sweat the small stuff, right?
