update on archie

little man is doing beautifully. is responding really well to firmer boundaries and more interest in his school work. has done 'homework' with me after every school day (ie, friday last week and twice so far this week) yesterday he didnt have 'proper' hw, so i got him to pick some breeds of chicken he liked the look of in a book i have and wrtite those out. he was well into it. what a star. teacher says he had a great day yesterday and today he brought home 4 little certificates for phonics and a card with 5 stickers on for doing well at various things. he was really proud, bless him. he's been an absolute sweetie with me the last few days too - really helpful in setting up gus' party etc... have been having lots of cuddles. boy do i make great kids [beam]
