Dad reports:
Tommy’s bus showed up right on time and Tommy was still laying in bed despite numerous suggestions that he get up and warnings that his bus was coming. He wasn’t asleep. Just staring at the ceiling.
He jumped to his feet and dressed lickety split, declared angrily “I hate my bus!” then rushed out the door before I could give him money for breakfast. Of course, his wallet is magically filling up with green so he should be able to cover himself.
Dad reports this morning:
Yesterday the school called because “Tommy has slept for 3 hours” and wanted to know if we had any suggestions. We didn’t. Mom and I are flat out of ideas. Sunday night I took away his glasses and Nintendo DS. I can’t force him to sleep but I’m pretty sure he had 6-7 hours sleep (he kept himself up until 11 and I give him meds at 6:15). The sleeping in school is hiding..not tired. He hides from work, socialization, responsibility, etc.
