This afternoon we had court for Younger Boy. Judge D wanted to talk to him about recent behaviors.

I LOVE Judge D. He makes me laugh in every single hearing. This time was no exception.

He asked Younger Boy how it was going at home. Younger Boy said OK. He then asked Younger Boy how everyone else on the case would answer that question and Younger Boy said a little rough, because he doesn't follow directions. Judge D asked him why and he said it was because he doesn't follow directions. Judge D asked how many times out of ten Younger Boy does what he is told. Younger Boy said one. I think that is relatively accurate. Judge D wasn't happy. He "court ordered" Younger Boy to follow directions a minimum of 80% of the time to be monitored and reported by me.

We talked about the urine incident. Judge D told him he would still be scrubbing the bathtub if he lived at his house.

Younger Boy admitted he is not trying to follow directions.

Judge D asked about Sophie and the trumpet. He wants Younger Boy to learn to play "Hail to the Chief" for him.

Judge D told Younger Boy he is not going to give up on him, because he knows he can do this, but that we need to get him the help he needs.

Praises for a good hearing and Judge D. I honestly believe he cares about every child that goes through his court room.
