Daily Life

I worked at the school yesterday and then at night I went back to help with the bookfair. Now I must admit that I was a bit nervous to go back with both boys with me and try to help out. I am visualizing them running around the place and disrupting the teachers etc. Luckily there is a girl there to help out whis is great but it takes mother reminder to help me.
Well, Josh wants to help me at the bookfair, which he can and does a good job. However, he kept wanting to open the door for people and be the door man. When it is 45*degrees out it gets very cold on the inside because he wants to keep the door open all the time so we are freezing where we were standing. Had to keep reminding him he needed to wait for the people to come to the dorr and not be a door prop.
Meanwhile, the young girl is entertaining Brandon. I think the meds are working. He was calm and focus off to the side. Until someone we knew from the past stop by to say hi and then he got all goofy. I know that is part of his personality but man does he go all bonkers when he feels he needs to entertain someone. Why he can't stay calm and focus drives me up the wall. He gets all silly and loud and jumps around, almost inappropriate but not quit. The girl watching him said that is enough and he quit. So there is hope, I am hoping he is just trying to figure out his personality at age 7.

I must admit there are a few good things with meds. One he is explaining himself better in some ways. more details about what is happening at school at play or times we are not around. This is good. The other he is eating more. now most kids lose their appetite he is EATING!! Yeah. Don't worry he is not eating enough to get heavy just more normal eating. Usually we have to fight him on food. Once we quit arguing it helps.
