Every day we all make a series of choices which affect our lives. Some choices are good and have a positive outcome. Some aren't. We all need to learn we are responsible for our choices and the outcomes which are a result of our choices.

If you are told at daycare and at home that if you do not follow directions at daycare as they relate to playing your DS you can no longer bring it to daycare you have two choices. You can follow the directions or not follow the directions. If you follow the directions you can continue to take your DS. If you don't, you can't. Older Boy made a choice on Wednesday to not follow the directions with his DS. He is no longer able to take his DS to daycare. That means not Thursday, not Friday, not ever. This morning he didn't understand this. Apparently it was not his choice to follow directions.

We had to go to Psychiatrist. We were already mad about the choices we made as they related to the DS. As a result Older Boy chose to sit in the car when we arrived at Psychiatrist's office and scream "hell no...I'm not going in". I chose to give him a consequence, because I have choices, too. My choice was to take away baseball tomorrow. It stinks it is the last game of the year, but I didn't choose to sit in the car after five or more chances.

Older Boy told Psychiatrist he is making good choices and following directions. Is this really his perception? Did he forget between the time he got out of the car and into the office?

We changed meds again. I don't know what I think about it. We need to do something different with the aggression level. We need to make better choices with impulse control.

Pray the new medications are the right medications. The trial and error periods are really tough. Pray Older Boy starts to understand his choices are his own and so are the consequences that go with them.
