good nights with difficult child (in terms of gfgdom). He is continuing to struggle BIG time at school.
However, the past few nights he has been pleasant to be around. After school he and I did a run to the grocery store for some things I needed (he was actually good in the grocery store). The he and I went to the health club. Usually it's a recipe for disaster but I took him on Sunday and he was good then so I decided to try again. He did a good job.
We came home and played a game together. He was smiling and laughing a lot tonight-just fun to be around-that is something I haven't been able to say for a long time and it feels good. It's nice to know that we can still see some glimpses of the fun to be around kiddo.
Just wanted to share since it has been awhile since I've been able to share a positive post about difficult child. I know it may be short lived but I'm enjoying it while I can.
