Other than the school, I did not see any serious signs of depression. And while he made the comments of "I wish I were dead," and has expressed some fascination with the subject, I do not see any actual suicidal ideations. The last week he had not expressed as much (or, at least as vehemently) his displeasure, however, he has been extremely constipated. My husband seems to think it's a coincidence, but I can't help but wonder if there's a connection: internalizing frustration.

I'm hoping that the new school will be a good fit. We figure, however, that if it isn't, we could keep him at home until kindergarten.
