That would be ideal - my mom did that for me in elementary school and it made such a difference. My office is some distance away, but I might be able to manage it tomorrow. Although I'd worry about setting up expectations and that he'd behave the same at the end of lunch as at the start of the day and I'm not sure I'm up for dealing with that twice in a day...
I meant keep him home for the afternoon. That way you would both only miss half a day and he would know it was not a reward for making a big fuss.
