Happy 2008; and what a great start I’ve had to the New Year.  I’m so happy I could dance on the roof… at least until William comes home and yells at me for being silly.  The reason for my jubilation – Aidan!

Since his fall from grace I have been asking the teacher if Aidan behaved himself everytime I pick him up from school.  If he has misbehaved then he is grounded from the computer and the T.V. until the next time he behaves in class.  The punishment seems to be working cause Aidan has had fewer and fewer bad days.

Then last Thursday (January 10, 2008) the teacher said to me, “From all of my 60 students, Aidan is the most improved.  I can tell what you have been doing with him at home is working.”  All I can say is YIPPPPEEE!  I left the school beaming and proud of my little boy.

Granted, it would have been great if he started off being one of her best students instead of being the one that needed improvement, but at least he is getting better.  And, that makes me one very proud mom.
