Morning with Asher: 8 yrs old 7:45 wake up Asher "Why did you open the curtains too bright! Too bright!" Grumble and other noises Me: "Okay, I will close the curtains if you get up." Several more tries. Finally Asher gets up. And gets dressed SLOWLY Asher comes downstairs and begins to draw. Me: "Asher I need you to get your shoes and socks on" Asher : No response Me: "We have 10 minutes, please get your shoes and socks on." Asher fidgets with a sock. I make his breakfast and finish making his lunch. I also pack up a hearty snack. I go over to Asher . He has one sock on. On the way to school he grumbles "Why do we have to walk? My legs hurt." "The more often we walk the more stamina you will build," I say wondering why I at 45 have more energy than an 8 yr old. He walks more slowly. He hates school. "I packed a yogurt," I say "I won't eat it" he says.
