No news

...is good news, or so the saying goes. Not so sure myself, as I still haven't heard from the company I had the interview with. Only time will tell I suppose.

Well, we've had James' parents' evening tonight. what an eye opener - for the teacher that is. She was gobsmacked when we questioned if James was agressive at school, and couldn't believe it when we explained his reluctance for homework of any kind, his agression towards me and Michael, and especially Sophie, and his regular tantrums.

She is also going to look into the swimming lessons issue, and the fact that James seems to spend most of his spare time on his own, and often sits on his own on the school bus to swimming too. She said she will have a word with him tomorrow about whether he feels that the after school homework club would help him to concentrate and get work done.

Apart from our issues, her only issue was that he doesn't concentrate on his own work in class and is much more interested in what everybody else is doing. He is also on the 'gifted and talented' register because of his vocabulary and use of language (even if he doesn't manage to get in onto paper in the time provided). He has done VERY well in a music aural test, but with James' class teacher not being a musician, she is going to get the results explained to her in more detail and feed back to us soon,as she couldn't interpret them and tell us how well he had actually done!.

So, in summary, we had far more worries than her. Whew!

Not much else to report, other than I spent 3 hours yesterday tidying Sophie's bedroom so you can at least see her floor now. Sadly, it needs many more hours work before it is up to a normal standard of tidyness.

Will endeavour to post tomorrow, whether I have good news, bad news or no news. Please pray for the former.
