May 1, 2009, my wee difficult child had the first of several good days of school.
***
On May 26, he started a summer day camp program, and had a few minor issues, but overall, was getting along well.
***
Today, he had a classic meltdown.
***
He made a cookie for his brother. When he couldn't seem to keep his hands off other people and things, they took his cookie. When he still didn't stop, they ate his cookie. At that point, he raged.
***
They did not throw him out (yet). They were completely shocked by his behavior during the rage. They were probably also shocked by my non-chalant attitude about it. I should probably practice saying something besides "Yeah, he does that." They are now ready to hear what little we know as far as dealing with him. They are setting up an area in the hall he can go to "hide" when he needs to calm himself.
***
We will see.
***
It was a good run.
