it's the 1st time that kynan went to bed on time... and actually fell asleep before his sister!...well, 1st time in a long time!

not sure if the counselling helped...mb the talking...mb the time-out that we took in e serenity of bkt/btk park...(as opposed to rushing back for an hour of school)...mb the no-tv rule these last few days, maybe just knowing that someone out there knows his fears... lots of maybe's.

today he came back with a sore knee. P1 C shares their drama-time with them and it emerged from his councillor that he's scared of them because he gets antagonised each time they meet. (which is every wed)   what he spoke of was mostly verbal, but he was too scared to repeat the words to us. doc said it was good that he allerted the teacher, but as it still kept happening... she showed him a coping technique. he practised it at home last night. i dont think he used it today... but his knee still hurts really badly, which makes him feel down.. :(   and who was the chap?... the 'woodland policeman' no less!... mummy thinks that next time, the narrator should take the nasty policeman and lock him up in his own woodland jail :))

aside from the trials, he also talks about his latest best-mates and what they get up to during recess.  one particular girl now sits beside him in the canteen, and lends him her special 501 yo-yo.  today she noticed his new lunchbox, while the rest of the class commented on his new haircut.  it brings big beaming smiles to his face as he speaks of all these. 

thank goodness for his little friends who make it all seem brighter!

and now...he's already looking forward to P2... "Oh, i can't wait!" he grins :)
