This is a bit of a catch up! As we have just started this blog, we hope to be updating it daily. So this post is a bit of a catch up of the week.
- Behavior/Headbutting - Tonight, Something we haven't seen a lot of lately is the headbutting, but man did it make an appearance tonight! During dinner, which was going really well, he was eating all his chicken and sweet potato. And then all of a sudden. out of now where...BAM! Really hard against the tile table top (enough to crack the grout) I think it was because we told him he couldn't have my fry that I had put aside for him until he had finished his chicken, he ate some chicken and then tried to sneak the fry of my plate and I told him he had to eat the last two mouth fulls of chicken. This response was totally out of the blue! The more surprising thing was how quickly he moved on from it, no crying or attention on his part and was past as soon as it happened, almost as if it didn't happen. Very strange?
- Learning - When working in a kindergarten work book with dad, if its an exercise he can do in his book he is happy to do it, but when it's something he finds hard he says "can we do it tomorrow!" and there really is no compromise or talking him into it, even with help. Its hard to get him to even just try it!
- Learning - We have been doing a word of the day, this is to get him focused on a easy word, where he can practice reading, spelling and sounding out, keeping it all simple. We did the word "cat" yesterday and while he was great at sounding out the letters he could not tell me what the word said. when asked to write the word on the chalk board next to it, he did not want to and said he would do it later and that he was too tired. funny how he was awake enough to go play lego after that. Its like there is always something else he would rather be doing.
- Behavior/Social/Emotional - This week Harry's hardest moments have been when we are going out. I will tell him what we are doing for the day and straight away "I don't want to go out!" Getting him dressed and out the door has been a 30min plus process that is always a battle with tears, screaming and foot stomping. All that just to get out the door and then when we get there from the moment we arrive to the time we finally get back in the car to leave, all I hear is "mommy I don't want to stay, can we go home?" repeatedly until we go, makes for a fun time out...not!
- Behavior/Emotional - Tonight when asked to get in the bath, he didn't want to go upstairs and cried and said he just wants to be with his mommy, when asked to go up he said "please I want to stay with you!" then I suggested why don't you have a shower then, off he goes!
