I'm almost afraid to post it because I don't want to jinx it but Jackson has been behaving SO incredible lately! A few weeks ago, he was doing poorly... and we had a few breakdowns, had to write lots and lots of sentences (that's our primary discipline), some bad notes home and we had to get really tough on him with his attitude and whining... Daddy had to step in and really talk to him about being a respectful boy. I have no idea what flipped the switch, but holy moly, he's been the best little boy lately!! I got two notes home about how well he has been from two different days, a text from his teacher another day about him being so good, and then another day, his after school teacher came outside to tell me he was absolutely "supurb!" At home, he's been doing what I ask with "yes m'am" promptly without complaining... He's been overly helpful with his little brothers and he hasn't been whining hardly at all. I just cannot say enough how proud I am for this! He hasn't had a "strike" (he gets 1 strike as a "warning" for behavior) in so long.... Oh, and he's pretty excited about the rewards... Wednesday before school, Ryan took the boys to Walmart and let Jackson pick out a special toy (surprise, he picked legos) for being so good, and because he had so many "star" days in a row, he gets to have Cole over to spend the night soon! I really hope this is a permanent behavioral shift for him - even though I know occasionally he will slip... but overall, he's just doing so great. Had to brag on my big boy a bit...
