Holding it together

Porter has been on green all week. A Festivus miracle. He is doing loads better (watch he will be on blue or red or...gasp....pink today when he comes home). He holds it together at school long enough to get that elusive green but as he gets off the bus I can physically see him start to loose it as he gets closer to home. It is like he bursts in the front door a ball of energy itching to just explode. And explode he has been doing. Yesterday after no less than a gazillion meltdowns and almost as many time outs we were talking about his behavior. This is what he had to tell me. "Mom, I am good at all day and I just can't be good anymore"

I guess I just need to be thankful that HAMDOG is finally seeing the good little boy that was hidden under all that yellow and blue and occasional pink. I will gladly take the yellow here at home (ok I lied... not gladly)
