"I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there's gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day."

Sometimes you have a bad day.   Spicer has had quite a few of those latley.   Yesterday his teacher started him back on the ROAR program.   He had managed to avoid being on it all year until now.   I wish I could wave a magic wand and fix it but I can't.   Alll I can do is give him consequences for his negitive behaviors and praise him when he does well.  This too shalll pass,,,I hope.  I love you Spicer! 
 
Spicer had a great day at school today.  This is a crazy week at school since its Dr. Seuss week and there are all kinds of opportunities for Spicer to get in trouble.  Monday was a rough day and I was fearful we would have a repeat of last year’s Dr. Seuss week.  So today I stressed the importance of having a good day.  I added a potential additional consequence of not attending Dr. Seuss' birthday party at our local book store.  I walked into Kidz Company and took a deep breath.  I made it to Spicer's backpack before he did.  I looked in his folder fearing the worst.  I was thrilled to see a good day!   Here are a few pictures of the celebration at BookNBean.  I am so proud of you Spicer!
 
Spicer helped me bake some cookies today.  We made dark choc oatmeal cookies, yummy!  Such a perfect little helper!  I love you Spicer Man!
 
Look What my sweet boy gave me!!!
