So Ian broke his arm almost a week ago now. A year and two months before this he broke his collarbone. I am not sure that I like the current trend and I am hoping that he fixes it so we don't have another broken bone in a year. The frustrating thing about him breaking his arm was that he was told all week to stop jumping off his dresser. I am not sure why my kids continue to cycle through this particular situation. I am at a loss as to how I am going to get them to stop jumping off of my stuff and being so destructive. I love them very much but they do need to learn to behave better in that regard.
My more current worry was brought to my attention today. I do have to say I am glad that Aiden has a great teacher who brought this to my attention after just two days as she tried to fix the problem herself first. Anyways so I got a call today informing me that Aiden wrote on his table with crayon yesterday which she made him clean off and also talked to him about. Then today he colored on the rug in marker. The thing is I know that he knows better then that and also knows that it is breaking a rule to do this. We discussed why he did this some and I he told me it was because he is bored at school. I am not really sure what to do about this. He enjoys the interaction he gets at school, but his attitude towards school is starting to change for the worse. He use to love to learn and do "homework" and at this point he is bored by it all. I don't think there is much point to this post other then I need to let these feelings out in hopes to find the best solution for Aiden so he can succeed.
