This morning I was again at training for camp.

This time Middle Boy called to tell me he couldn't go to therapy, because:

1. He didn't know where his assignment notebook was.
2. They were going to be late if he had to find it.

Here's the deal.  This is COURT ORDERED therapy.  The program allows you to miss two times either excused or unexcused.  He has had an excused absence when we had a meeting with probation and he forgot the night of therapy had changed.  So he is down to one and then he will be kicked out of the program.

So...I asked him if he was choosing not to go to his weekend summer camp this year.  He quickly came back that he could go.  I explained that, no, if he skipped therapy today this would be miss number two and if he missed for camp that would be three and he would be kicked out of the program and back at the juvenile center.

He hadn't thought of that.

He went to therapy.

Praises he called me and didn't just skip.  Prayers that he will start to have a better grasp of consequences.
