Follows is the latest dispatch from the CommBinder....these can be less than ideal to read at times....but this one was pretty good. I'm sure you will agree.

Ms. XYZ was absent today. Thanks for the heads up regarding his morning - we kept the demands low with plenty of breaks. Nicholas had plenty of energy to burn today - the trampoline was our friend!! He did really well!
Over lunch Nicholas spotted a book he was interested in through the door of the classroom beside us. He darted in and grabbed it with a quick "Can I borrow this? I'll take that as a yes!" (They were working at the other end of the room). I told him that when you ask to borrow something you need to wait to hear the answer. He said he doesn't like waiting. I walked him through what might happen when the class goes to read their book at story time and to discover it was gone (they might feel surprised and sad). He thought about this and said, "I'll put it back!". Seemed proud of himself - I thought you might like to know. :)
Nicholas earned his stage pass again today - great transitions today as well. Have a great night!"
And of course I had to make sure Nicholas didn't hear me laughing as I read this....because I could just picture him doing it too. :) I'm glad he had a good day. He does have a lot of them...but he does have bad days too - and its so obvious at times when he's had a bad day. You can see it in his face when he gets off the bus. He'll have that, "get outta my way people - I'm all stressed out. I'm done with your educational system for the day....so now if you don't mind, I'd like to go inside, wash my hands, grab my snack - and get my YouTube on" expression on his face. :)
