Excited for Mexico

"I can't wait till spring so I go to Mexico. I can have horse rides starting slow. And I can go to the beach. I really want to go to Mexico."

Making good choices

Paolo has been having trouble making good choices at school, but after a teacher conference last week, he had 3 smiley days in a row this week. An unfortunate incident with a classmate who couldn't keep his lunchbox to himself led to Paolo's first violent infraction. Daddy went to talk to him at school, and after school we discussed alternative to Paolo's response. We started with his actual choice at the bottom and came up with better and better choices. Paolo illustrated the best choice (say stop)--after illustrating his favorite (punch his spine).
