Control/Independence=difficult

It's amazing what a little bit of control/Independence will do to a child. Preschool is no longer a battle for us. Alec goes to school just fine as long as:

• He gets to pick what he is wearing. Monday it was a red Hawaiian Shirt with his "monster sweatshirt". Today it was a sharks jersey and with shorts that did not match. God only knows what it will be next week.


• He gets to pick which back pack he is bringing (this also changes daily)


• What goes in the back pack (ex. trophy, cars, books and anything he can steal from Jaden)


• He MUST have a lunch box, although they don't eat lunch at school (I think because Jaden brings lunch)


• He needs to pick what goes in the box and he has to bring a snack for Daniel (a kid he says is in his class but I am not sure their really is a kid named Daniel)

So as long as he has control of what he is wearing and what he is bringing, he will go. This is so opposite from Jaden, who still wants me to pick what he wears to school. I guess you can say Alec is more independent (as my best friend Katie called it). I call it difficult. haha He is a stubborn little guy just like his grandpa who he is named after. Alec William is going to give mom grey hair!

But really look how sweet his face is !
