Say What You Think

This morning was little more successful and was a bit too good to be true. Boy Wonder showered and dressed himself and although very slow, did so without too many prompts. Breakfast was a little less successful but nether the less we got through it and left for school. And that's where the idilic story ends!

Once in the car, Boy Wonder started to talk through his routine which didn't include Ju Jitsu this evening. I questioned this and he went into a fit of rage. In short he wasn't going to Ju Jitsu / Kobudo
and I couldn't make him. It wasn't his usual routine and that was that! In my defence it was his usual routine but this wasn't the time for confrontation. He got out of the car and bolted into school. His friends said good morning to him and he pushed them away. The teaching assistant saw him come into the classroom and looked at me for some sort of explanation. I told her about the matter and she went over and diverted Boy Wonder with a 'job.' I left the classroom after saying goodbye to him and getting the cold shoulder.

After school Boy Wonder went straight into attack mode regarding his evening activities. He told me in no uncertain terms that he doesn't like change, he doesn't like being told what to do and he is struggling to adjust back into his routine. Although I am very aware of this, it was nice to hear Boy Wonder say it and recognise his areas of difficulty. After twenty minutes of debating his routine we agreed on a way forward which was much the same as the original plan.

I dropped Boy Wonder off at dance and Cat Girl at Ju Jitsu . I then read Boy Wonder 's home school diary. Apparently today he had discussed with the teaching assistant how he didn't like school and didn't want to come back after the holidays. A day of say what you  think today? Which can't be a bad thing!

Boy Wonder returned home after Ju Jitsu and played on Minecraft for an hour, had some high calorie snacks and went to bed. He has done well with his eating today again which is great news.
