And Tuesday Wednesday

So, he righted the ship Tuesday!  Yay, George!  I am so thrilled that he was able to get control and keep it through out the day!  Tuesday night's routine went well, too.  Eric went to the first PTA meeting of the year. So it was just the two of us for bedtime.  We worked through the routine so that it will be...well, a routine.  He did decide that he was ready for stories before his screen-free playtime was up. I reminded him that he needed to read out loud to me first. He did that...and for a bit longer than yesterday, but not a full 20 minutes. It was hard tracking time because my alarm is set on the checklist schedule and we did deviate from it.  He ended up reading until the alarm went off to *start* his 20 minutes. I did glance at the clock and *think* he read for around 10-12 minutes or so.  And then I read his new library book (Tuesday was library day) out loud and he was done for the night.  Except for the 2 wake ups... :(

On the downside, he had another mini-meltdown on the way out Wednesday morning, too.  I think it's the screen.  He's watching a YouTube channel in the morning when eating breakfast and when Dad announces, "Time to go!" there's a fit.  We have told him that if he cannot make the transition to leaving without the fit then we are going to have to take away the screen time in the morning.  He also didn't eat any protein Wednesday morning with breakfast. I tried and he said no.  Not sure if I should give it to him anyway or what to do.  I don't want to waste food, either.

Went to the library to pick up a book and wasn't able to find it on the shelves even though the library listed it as available. I didn't ask anyone for help because everyone seemed to be busy. I may request the book and pick it up when ready.

Wednesday evening routine went great.  It's a little different when Dad reads...he did ask him to read to him before reading the stories, so I had George read to me for a bit before songs.  We worked it all in and it went well.
