Weekly Glance...

Weekly Glance (Monday, September 12th - Sunday, September 18th, 2011)

• Had a up & down week at school
• He was scheduled for Mystery Box on Monday - he decided to put Monkey in the box.  He said that Maureen figured it out pretty quickly
• Monday he was showing off (yelling, talking over friends)
• Tuesday he had a great day
• Tuesday night he went fishing with Daddy
• Wednesday, Mommy & Alexander went to his first Red Sox game at Fenway Park
• Had two timeouts on Thursday for throwing a shovel in the playground and for pushing one of his friends
• Finished his homework sheets Thursday night  
• Friday was a good day at school, since Daddy was going to cousin Nick's football game, we went out to dinner and game home and played some games
• Alexander won 'Trouble" twice!
• Saturday was a busy day - soccer, lunch/errands with Mommy, William's birthday party in the afternoon, riding bikes with Daddy in early evening
• Sunday, Alexander & Daddy went to uncle Matt's for lunch, then to the zoo with Michael and back to Matt's to play & watch the Patriots game
• Working on changing bedtime a little to be more structured - after getting ready for bed, it will be a couple of books, then small amount of quiet time where he can read, do puzzles, or play for a bit but he has to do it by himself.  Then when quiet time is over, cuddle/tuck in and that's it.  Hopefully it will help condense the process to 30 minutes.
• Sleeping was mixed - he fell asleep reasonably well most nights but did not stay in his bed one night
• Started weaning him slowly of the habit of him coming in each night to cuddle/sleep
• By the time, Sunday morning came I brought him back into his room, cuddled with him in the chair, tucked him back in his bed and let him cry it out
