BP - Brother of the Illness

Connor's medications are the same.

Ian had a .5 increase in Risperdal and added is the Dextroamphetamine (which seems to be helping with his reading). J

They had talked to their dad off and on. Mostly by telephone. Ian talks to his dad the most and Faith.

We've had a bit of trouble with the boys and the "I wants". We had a time out in class last week and talked about how much money mommy has to pay out every month. It helped a bit and was one big  math problem!

Connor, although better, is still blaming Ian whenever he gets into trouble. Ian is having a problem with tattling. It is causing problems with Connor. Connor thinks Ian tattles because he hates him. Many times he is trying to keep Connor from hurting himself or stay out of trouble, but even then Connor is hateful and I am trying to get Ian to quit the tattling.

Connor lost his building privileges. He took apart one of our printers!  I love his imagination, but he uses things without permission and doesn't seem to understand why he gets into trouble.

Ian seems to be having a thing going where he is trying to get me to talk to his dad and tell him I love him. I think he is trying to match make.

We are doing well. Neither feels the best today, but they are doing well in school & I am very glad. The biggest issue I have is having disrespect for me as their mother & our home. Trying to keep in mind their ages, I can't seem to get them to pick up after themselves.
