I asked him tonight how he feels about school now. He said he feels better about it b/c he is learning a few new things. He enjoys reading group even though the books are very easy. Teacher said his focus is writing about what he's reading since he's way ahead in math and reading already. He likes writing so he is fine with that. He came home half-day today and it would be so nice b/c then I could do history and science w/ both boys and have plenty of time for read-alouds, math, and reading. Sigh....
But he is my easy going kid...always has been...never a tantrum in his life .... I just don't want to do a disservice to him b/c of his easy going nature, KWIM? I tend to focus more on DS8 ie asking him what he wants for dinner b/c I know DS5 will eat most things and if not, he'll settle for something quick in the fridge w/out fuss. I'm trying to keep his needs in the forefront in spite of his easy-go-lucky nature. I don't want him to sail through, not learn to work through challenges. But given that he is happier now, I can table these thoughts until a future date and work on DS8's issue, many which were created from being under-challenged. 8-(
