I don't think i have let u all know that we did take Thorn off his meds. We thought that it was doing more harm then good. He was acting the oppoist then what the meds were supposed to do. It's been since been a couple of months and he's doing better school wise. He has brought all of his grades up to A's and B's. Were still having trouble with is attiude and lying issues. We recently started seeing Therpist for him and the whole family. Thorn really likes Kelly everytime i go to tell him were going to see Kelly tonight he gets all excited about it. I'm going to start having one on one with her. It's like i told her i need to help myself before i can help my son. So after the first of the year were going to start our sessions. I hope it helps. If ur wondering if i'm going to put him back on meds it's going to be know. he needs to know how to control it by himself. Now please don't get me wrong i'm not putting down any parent who gives ther child meds trust me i know whats its like and if u need do. I just don't think it's right thing for us to do right now. I will keep u all posted and how were doing. I hope u all have a wonderful Hoilday and a happy new year. talk to ya soon.
Love, Jennifer

Thanks for the post Jen, I am not ready for the holidays yet , cause I still have to do my X-Mas Shopping (u know the gifts that Santa brings for u & ur kids). Yes my son who's now 10 still does believe in Santa, I want him to find out on his own who Santa really is. The thing I say to my son when he askes me if Santa's real or not is "Does mom/mommy have that kind of money to buy u or mom/mommy these types of gifts" & he replys no & then I say "Well then he must be real right" & he replies ya. I think this might be the last year though that he believes in Santa, cause he's getting smarter on me. I feel that him still believing in Santa, lets me/us as parents hold onto our little kids a little longer, even though they tell u that they are big kids now & don't do little kid stuff anymore, so I will let him believe in Santa til he finds out or finally out smarts me (whichever one comes 1st). This is true for me, holding onto him believing in Santa cause he's my one & only child for this time being, so I want to hold onto that little kid part of him. Take Care, Heather & Kaleb
