I'm scared to say it's a trend, but Marcus has had a string of amazing days. He had a really bad day last week when he broke a $1000 window at school and got put on a restitution plan. Not only does he have to give over his Christmas money, he has to work off the debt. All totaled, he has done over $2000 in property damage since the beginning of school. But this wasn't the point of today's post...
Since our school meeting and a very stern (maybe angry) talking to by both my husband and I, Marcus has done a few amazing things. First day afterwards, he cleaned up the kitchen without being asked! He even took the trash out. He had several good days at school in a row, even one where the one-to-one aide used the word amazing. He's been polite and respectful. He's still relentless, but it feels more like a typical 14 year old kind of thing. He's even been working on math at home in a curriculum book he asked for. Can I get an amen!
Exhaling cautiously.
