Who Are You, and What Have You Done With My Child?

If you've been following me, you probably know that #2 has had some *ahem* challenging behavior issues in the past. He is a very strong willed child. He tends to do what he wants to do, when he wants to do it. His is the type of personality that will probably serve him well as an adult, but as a child unable to control his impulses, it gets him into trouble.

His lack of impulse control has continually gotten him into trouble at school. He can't stay in his seat, he bothers other kids, he even drank the teacher's soda one day. Oddly though, since school resumed after winter break, he has been as close to angelic as a child can get. His behavior has improved exponentially. I wish I knew what was making him follow rules now. Maybe he is just maturing, and realizing that getting in trouble isn't any fun. I don't know if this new behavior will last, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
