CRAZY CHILD

Nathan is very happy to be out of school. He is a whirlwind of activity. He started off the summer being grounded, for not doing his chores and talking back. I don't know if he is going to survive the summer if he keeps this up. We really need to find something for him to do but the stinker doesn't want to do anything but sit and play video games. I wonder who he could have gotten that from ;). He has been antagonizing poor Ericka every chance he gets. We are constantly hearing "I'm bored" but when we come up with ideas he's not having any of it. He was playing outside for awhile but that no longer seems to be his thing either. We have more kids in the neighborhood now and he doesn't want to deal with them so he stays inside. He gets easily annoyed by the other kids so unless he knows he'll be left alone he won't go out. He has been spending a lot of time building with his legos or listening to music. He will sometimes read along side Ericka or ask her to read to him. He loves to read about dinosaurs or anything that is science. He isn't one for fiction but if it has a dragon on the cover he might give it a try. He spends a lot of time just jumping, running and spinning around.
We got his report card on the last day of school and he got all high marks for his school work. He got minuses for all behaviors though, no surprise! He's so smart but WOW this kid is wild!!
