I get a sense of guilt every time I drop off Nate. Everyone at the school loves him, but there is no disguising how much work he is right now. Just in these first few months at the new school, he's earned quite a reputation for misbehavior.
The teachers tell us how he'll escape from the class room and run to the front office or his sisters classroom. They laugh about how they have found him sitting in the directors/principal's chair or talking to the receptionist in front. They've also found him working with his sister (in her classroom), on a few occasions
His teachers have made efforts to make things 'more interesting' to keep his attention, and have even taken to walking him up and down the hall 4 or 5 times, just to wear him down.
Things are changing though. We've adopted some disciplinary methods at home and have seen definite improvement over the last month (likely due to his own development rather then anything we are doing).
I'm sure, someday, we'll look back on these issues and laugh. Hopefully.
