just when i thought

Collin was growing up, changing so much, he brings me back to the reality that he is only a 9 year old boy.  Collin has changed ALOT over this school year, seems to have gained more confidence in himself & his abilities & more able to stand his ground.  Well, yesterday, evidently, was not a good day for him at school.  I think he started out tired & one of his friends at school yelled at him for something that really didn't matter & then he had to come home to study for 2 tests.  It didn't help that yesterday just was a gloomy day outside!  I'm always in a much better mood when the sun shines right away in the morning.  Unfortunately, the boys bedtime has not been very stable, with the days getting longer, they definitely don't want to go to bed when it's still light out.  I try my best to listen to his troubles & encourage him, but sometimes, they just need to go to sleep & have a do-over.  When he's had a bad day & nothing seems to be going his way, I just tell him to go to sleep & start over tomorrow.  {I could tell this morning, today has already started out a better day}.  Love you Collin... some days are better than others.  That's LIFE!
