The morning did not start off well. Neither boy wanted to get up for church. When they finally did get up they were mad at each other.

We went to first service and it was pretty uneventful. I had purchased Older Boy some “tangles” which is a type of therapy to control anger and fidgeting. He was so excited, because he didn’t even have to use them during the church service.

The boys went to Sunday school and Youth Group. This is where it went downhill. Older Boy thought Youth Group “sucked”. He used his tangles so much that they broke. This infuriated him. He chose to let it ruin the next three hours of his day. In effect he then chose to let it ruin the next three hours of our family time.

Luckily we had gymnastics and he seemed to perk up then. They did great there and they have both become incredibly helpful to the other kids there.

The evening was filled with dinner and homework. Bedtime was pretty much incident free.
