Bad Day At School

Wednesday he had a bad day at school. We received a note home that he was disruptive, kept saying he was tired, laughed when he was reprimanded, only completed one page of his work, etc. "Was this the type of behavior he had the at the other school?" Yes, it was. But, he had gone almost three weeks without that kind of behavior at the new school, so that's good, right?

Come to find out - he actually was tired. Fell asleep on the couch before 8 pm that night.

So what does this tell me? It tells me that he is much more susceptible to the environment than my other kids. Last week was crazy in our household, and the kids were shuffled around a lot. Very bad for him. He had a babysitter the night before the bad day. Very bad for him. He must not have slept well. Again, bad.

So, maybe a couple lessons learned?
1. Keep the weekdays as normal as possible for him.
2. Make sure he gets lots of sleep
3. 5 full days of kindergarten was probably too much (he now has 3)

But then why I am his mom? Because I hate predictibility. I thrive in chaos and constant activities.
