Sorry no pics.
Just found out my "gifted" kid has been so smart he's been out-smarting his parents, until now.
It seems he's been changing his "color" on the traffic light warning system at school from reds to yellows and greens, knowing reds will get him in trouble at home and at school.
Until now we've been told that he's really not that bad, that he's just social, and gets in trouble a lot for disrupting by talking. I can live with that.
But today we found out he's been lying about his color, hiding notes from the teacher that were meant for us, and just today decided to moon a girl on the playground.
(Please no chip off the old block comments yet).
I can see why some parents find it easier just to be 'friends' with their kids and not discipline, and I could surely use a manual, but looks like we've got yet another 'phase' approaching and fast. Guess I'm in for more parenting OJT (on-the-job-training) tonight. Fun Fun
Did I mention we haven't got him out of the phase of sleeping on our bedroom floor yet? There should at least be a law that they can only be in one phase at a time!!

Good Times! And I am right there with ya. Today Anna's teacher asked me to practice having Anna sit still for 15 minutes without saying anything, and if she can't do 15 then lower it to 10, then 5, etc. I wonder where she gets her ability to talk?? :)
I was told I had to show you this picture to remind you like father like son.........lol

That's not so bad. Well maybe from the other kids perspective...At least he is not doing anything dangerous.
My five year old son is making threats to 12 year olds. Not only do I have to punish him for making threats but I also have figure out how to protect him from getting his butt kicked!
