The good news is both boys did really well when they were staying with Coach Z and Mr. Z. They didn't fight. They got up when asked and they followed directions.

The bad news is they have been behaving HORRIBLY at daycare.

Older Boy is trying to be the alpha male in the classroom and is bullying everyone else. He has had numerous timeouts each day and refuses to follow directions. He is no longer allowed to take his Nintendo DS because he refuses to listen to them if he is playing it. This infuriates him.

Younger Boy threatened a five year old boy on the playground and told him "Pay me $10 and I won't hurt your arm." He also was in a fight yesterday during a field trip and is no longer allowed on any daycare field trips. The fight wasn't the issue that made it so he couldn't go on the trips anymore. It was the fact that he refused to take a timeout and the daycare provider had to chase him two blocks before he would listen to her.

Obviously this behavior is unacceptable. Obviously there will be consequences.

Prayers for wisdom and that something will get through to these boys.

Praises for the Z's for being great caregivers and great friends.
