Friends

This morning I had the job to get all the kids up. It was very challenging to get them going, but once they did it went well. Carlitos did ok and even took a shower.

When I picked him up from school he had a story to tell. He had some interesting interaction with some boys. Let's say we have boy A and boy B. He started saying that he was sitting next to boy A at music class. Suddenly boy B came along and told him he wanted to sit next to boy A because they were friends. Carlitos said he was friends with boy A, at that time boy B said that was a lie!, then Carlitos turn around and asked boy A if that was a lie. Boy B said he was kind of his friend, for Carlitos that was great enough!. But somehow the boy B tricked him and sat on his seat.

At that very moment he had a choice to make. Could be anything!!. he chose to turn around and walk out of class, went to the office and stayed there for a little bit. After that went for some testing and then back to class. I asked him what he did when he saw them again. He mentioned that gave boy B a unhappy look and that was it. I am very proud of him for choosing the non violent way. cool.

We are still working on writing. Last night I got him pencil grips (let's try again!) and an interesting pen. It is design to be grabbed completely different.

He had a very good afternoon, mellow, slow, content. Went to his friend house and worked in the garage. He did good today.
