Miles boy drama!!!!

In the span of about 25 minutes this afternoon, we found out that Clayton had been sent to the principals office, and Ethan had sustained his first broken heart. What a Friday afternoon!!! Clay got sent to the office because he threw a 30 minute fit in the classroom, she couldnt get him calmed down, so she sent him to the office. He was there, in the principals office for another 30 minutes. (You should have seen Ethans face when we told him!! Priceless....) He's been having trouble for a few months now going to school...he misses us too much he says. All its been up to now is a few tears when we drop him off, every once in awhile some real clinging, but no major attitude problems. Today was different....he was kicking and screaming because he wanted to go home. Jeez....I'm not sure what we are going to do, we've got to get this under control. Any suggestions would be helpful! (After you stop laughing...I know some of you are just getting a kick out of the "payback" involved here...)
In Ethan news, sweet little Allison came up to Ethan today and told him "We're over." Then ran away to play with her friends. Josh put him on his lap and told him that girls were mean (except for Mommy, of course) and that he would have lots of girlfriends in the future. He told us that some of the kids in his class have been really mean, calling him ugly and other mean 4th grade crap that makes me just want to take a can of WHOOP ASS up to the school and OPEN IT WIDE!!!!!!!!! I think we cheered him up, we talked about who his really good friends were, and how important it was to have them. But it is becoming clearer and clearer that life is hard for these kiddos.
Well ya'll, pray for us!!! Oh the challenges. And I thought they got easier as they got older.....just different things. If you have Ethans e-mail, I'm sure he'd appreciate a nice email. He's sensitive about calling Allison names, but just let him know how special he is, and what a remarkable young man he is. Thanks everyone!
