Middle Boy is a Level 3 now.  Basically it means he has good behavior at the juvenile center.  There are four behavioral levels and each higher level earns you additional privileges and responsibilities.  You have to maintain each level for two weeks before getting to move on and there are also a maximum number of people who can be at any level at any given time.

I know there can only be two Level 4's at any given time.  There were two in his unit, but now he is the highest.  He will end his first week as a Level 3 this week.

Here's what I HATE about Level 3.  He can only call once during the times that Level 2's can call, because he has more phone privileges.  So that puts us at one call.  Before the Level 3's can use the phone during their time they have to complete all of their responsibilities as a group.  He is the only Level 3 right now so...no other calls.

We were talking four or five times a day so this stinks!!

I am proud of him for maintaining good behavior in a place where good behaviors aren't the norm.  I just don't like the lessened communication.

Praises Middle Boy is being respectful and staying strong.

Prayers we can continue to build our relationship with the lessened communication.
