[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 301990, member: 805"] Kjs, our boys are on the same growth pattern! difficult child's voice changed last summer and his fuzz appeared over the lip last fall! He's grown over 2.5 inches since spring and keeping him in jeans is costing me an arm and a leg! Boys!!!! My difficult child switched from adderall to vyvanse around Christmas time or so with good results. He takes it as soon as he rises, because it definately lasts longer than the adderall. It also affected his appetite more than the adderall. He doesn't really eat much lunch. I usually pack several things he likes in the hopes that he will at least drink the drink and eat one thing! He appetite doesn't really come back until around 6:30 which is about 3.5 hours longer than on the adderall. His description on the vyvanse was that it made him feel more like himself. Hope you have some positive results. difficult child sat down this past weekend and put his notebooks together. He uses two large fivestar organizers. One for even days and one for odd days. He does not use individual notebooks, regardless of what the teacher wants. I have found that he is much more organized if he is only responsible for one book. All his papers and such stay in the organizer. Now, that's not to say that it doesn't need cleaning up and putting away a couple days a week - but we've been using this method since he was in fourth grade and it works really well to have everything in one place. Many of the teachers request seperate notebooks, but I let them know that this is his method and it works. If they insist upon sectioning, I buy those smaller dividers to use within the four large subject dividers. I have found most of his teachers very accomodating when they find he can keep "himself together" with this method. difficult child has had a great summer as well - a couple weeks ago he said he was ready for school to start because he was getting a little bored. Now, he says he could use another couple weeks! He's resolved..... Hope your difficult child has a positive first week. It makes all the difference doesn't it? Sharon [/QUOTE]
