Since Logan started new school this week, we noticed some attitude changes. His artwork from school have been nicer, but even the drawings at home improved too.  He seems to be motivated to stay within the lines and has longer concentration.  He is more eager to do activities too.  One day after school when Stuart suggested riding bikes, Logan actually said “Yay!” which is unheard of for biking.  Today, after school, Logan asked to play soccer on the lawn; he was kicking more forcefully, more willing to guard the goal, and he giggled a lot during plays.  It is definitely nice to see Logan being more engaged in activities.  On the other hand, he also seems more needy this week; he becomes more attached to me too, wanting me to drop him off and to read him at night.  And he is more whiny when he does not get what he wants.  I guess these changes are how Logan is coping with the transition. 

     We think Logan really likes his new school.  When he asks in the morning “is today a school day?”, in the past, he would say “oh” for ‘yes’ (on weekdays) and say “Yay” for ‘no’ (on weekends).  Two mornings ago he asked the same question, and he actually said “Yay” when I answered yes to school day.  I totally thought that he had heard me wrong and repeated my answer.  Then I asked if he likes new school, he said “Yes”.
