and how he we really weren't getting along been going on for MONTHS (long before H and I split up) - he started Junior school today and it's been like a bloody revelation since he came home.
I've told him off - he's said sorry straight away and not gone into a major strop at all
He knocked something over in the kitchen I called through and asked what had happened - instead of saying nothing and getting arsey with me and saying "nothing" - he's explained exactly what happened.
He's been doing things using his initiative instead of having to be told every little thing.
It's quite incredible - like a totally different boy!!
I know this morning they spent the morning learning about how the school runs, the rules etc (they have 3 basic rules they have to remember - be kind, forgive and be honest - which kind of encompasses all of the nitty gritty rules really) and then this afternoon they were making up class rules and writing them down - but OMG I'm in shock - happy shock.
