Stressed Mother...

I am desperate for guidance; my son is still having issues and I feel I don’t know how to control it; I know he is hurting but I don’t know how to ease his pain because I too know how he feels, but it is causing me grief and stress.

Alex is now lying about everything. Little things like if he brushed his teeth, shampooed his hair, or did his homework; he is asked if he did them, and he says replies “yes mommy I finished everything” then I go see if the bottles have been moved and they are in the same spot; I check the backpack and journal is not done. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to punish him for lying because I read that punishing for lying will just cause more lying out of fear. So I am stuck! I guess it is back to trying to get a hold of the therapist again.

He was being seen by three counselors, two at school, and one private. I called one of the school therapists today and she informed me he refused to see her the last time she went to pick him up from class. I don’t know what to do; I don’t even know who my little boy is anymore. Before his father died he was such a normal and no problem kid. I’m stressed and I don’t know what to do.

Santa Clause & Mrs. Clause 2010

Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause arrived in a helicopter today @ Presbyterian Hospital.  My little Alex was so excited to come down during my lunch hour to see him and verify that he has in deed received his letter this year; he in fact did and told him before he could even asked him LOL as you can see in the picture below the expression of shock of my dear son's face; like saying wow how did you know that!!! He told me mom this one is not the messenger this one is the real Santa; he knows about my letter.  Of course son this one is the real one :)  I love seeing my son soooo excited, it gives me a sense of warmth and happiness.

Just wanted to stop by to wish all my friends and fellow readers a very Merry Christmas; my our Lord bless each and everyone of you and your families.  May this Christmas Season be full of love, joy, faith,health, lots of family and friends!   God bless you and be safe...

PROUD MAMA

I am so proud to announce that my son Alexandro has been doing very good in his Hip-Hop classes; He had his very first show case on Dec.11 2010 at the Kiva @ the convention center.  He won 1st PLACE!!!! WOOT WOOT... We are also talking about getting into the Public Academy Performing Arts school for middle school through high school.  I mentioned it to him last night and he got really excited!!! I guess he is down...

I just want to support his dreams like my patent's never supported my Orchestra dreams when I was his age!  Alexandro is soooo smart and is getting through things better and better each day. His counseling is helping a lot; he has two at school and one @ private one.  He seems to look happier now, which makes me feel better too!  I hated seeing him depressed everyday.  This year he has gotten 2 metals and one 1st place trophy; he is supposed to get another metal tonight, I will keep you posted :)

CONGRATULATIONS MY BABY!!! LUV YA BABE, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU...
