Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Well we made it through Pirate Week at camp and I'm glad I had already planned to have out of camp for the holiday week. It's good timing because he's been acting like a nut lately. there's a spike in his impulsive behavior and I'm getting really irritated with the nonsense sounds and loud shouting constantly. I'm sure it can be attributed to the change of routine and exhaustion. He thrives on structured routine and now that school is out and he's dealing with a new routine that changes weekly he's probably all whacked out. He's exhausted in the middle of the day but will not allow himself to sleep as much as he needs it. As I left the camp yesterday the director stopped me to ask me to have a talk with about personal space. Apparently it's gotten back to the director that he's been hitting and poking. Doesn't surprise me. I was hoping some day he would control his behavior when he realized other kids didn't want to be around him but that doesn't seem to phase him. I think he's oblivious to how it effects his peers and he just doesn't get it. He did pick up some new terms this week that showed me he was at least hearing things on his field trip. He was very pleased to tell us all, " They said poop deck, " and proceeded to repeat this all day and at the dinner table mostly to annoy his little brother who's been telling us for the past two weeks that " you're not supposed to say poopy. " asked me " What is shivering timbers? " And today I told him not to forget his pirate booty in the van and he advised me, " That's not booty. This is my booty, " and he bent over and pointed to his behind. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
