8/28/12 First Day Of School

Well yesterday was the first day back to school for little fella.  He did not sleep well the night before, as in he woke up at 220 and was up from then on.  It was a long day for everyone.  When it came time to get ready he was eager to go to school,  not like toward the end of last year.  He got dressed and ready in record time.  On the bus with no problem and away he went.  The letter from the teacher was nothing but praise.  He did everything that was ask of him.  Last year was nothing like this.  We are hoping that this continues.  When he got home his eyes were so heavy.  We sat and snacked and watched his favorite show for a while then he was off to play on the computer for a bit.  That did not last but about 10 minutes.  When he came back in he looked like he was ready to nod off but managed to stay awake.  I gave him his pills at 5 and he wanted to watch just one more episode of COPS so we did about 10 minutes into the show he fell asleep even with me talking with him.  I continued to try to wake him until mom got home from work.  He slept hard.  He did managed to wake up for a while with mom and sister home but that was not long lived.   We were all in bed by 8pm.  Good thing too because at 1am he woke up and was up until about 230.  His broken sleep patterns is gonna make us all old.  This morning he did say "I no like to go to school" but he still hopped right up on the bus and went.  I hope this is not the starting of what we saw at the end of last school year where every day was a fight and many of those fights we lost.
