Don't know if this will work but J's teacher sent me this little video of him reciting a poem for Mother's Day. I thought it was rather sweet. Do you do this learning poems in the States?
Well, thank you all for the nice words... Human beings have lots of facets, don't they, and I suppose being endearing is one of J's... being un-endearing at times is another
I have a theory that with our difficult children (and difficult children-in-Training, such as my little Tyrannosaur) that sometimes, their very handsome faces and endearing manners are the only things that keep us from killing them.
