We were headed to our son's Awana Program where he would be singing on the front row along with about 30 other children. Because of his high propensity to move, talk out loud, touch the person next to him, etc. I gave him "the speech" all the way to the church. I thought I had included every "don't" there could possibly be but apparently, I left one out. He was doing great to ... Read More »

Last week he had been picking clovers on the soccer field and missed an important pass. The week before he decided to twirl like a tornado down the field.
