[QUOTE="happy, post: 399184"] Thanks gbisdunn and welcome :) I'm totally looking at my son in a whole new light after reading all the replies to my post here. He was reading his sister and brother The Berenstain Bears No Girls Allowed book last night. He reads on the slow side but I think he does a great job sounding out the few words he didn't know. I'm proud of him. I have that same feeling in my stomach like there is something wrong but I can't put my finger on it. For the last month it's really been bothering me and it's hard to sleep and cope right now because my mind is always thinking about him. In the last couple weeks, his facial expression seems to me has changed too. He's not the happy little boy I'm used too, he seems to have a more serious unhappy look to him. I keep asking him what's wrong. I keep getting "nothing" as a response. I've been just staring at him for the last few days trying to figure things out. I have been making announcements of when bedtime is or shower time is or whatever. I think the transition has been better just in 2 days. No tantrums that's for sure. husband did bring him to tears at the dinner table about food. My son has been throwing out his lunch at school because he want ISM time (Independant School Mgmt) they get to play with puzzles, Lego's, magnets and the computers, that sort of stuff. So lunch is over in 2 mins for him and he gets 18 mins of ISM time. Well he was telling us that he wanted more food packed in his lunch and husband's point was why would we put more food in his lunch, just so he could throw it out. He didn't understand and he started crying. He didn't want to eat his pork chops at dinner so husband said he would put more on his plate just like he was asking for more food for his lunch. I told husband to stop that he didn't understand to leave him alone and he did. We did get some alone time too together. My son is jealous of his younger brother and sister. We got about 3 hours together to cuddle on the couch, play Wii soccer, and toss around the football. I wish we could have more one on one time together but it's hard with 3 young kids. I will see how tonight goes, he has a writing assignment due, and a math test packet due tomorrow and he needs to study his spelling words for his test on Friday.
