Good afternoon ladies!

I have reopened my dayhome after moving away from my previous town a year ago. I had my first day home boy start on Monday and we have been having some major up and downs. Monday was great! My kids got along with him, he was a sweet boy. Tuesday I took the kids to the park. He yelled at me on the swings and told me "if you don't push me I'll punch you". kept telling me to stop talking to him. Said the other kids were mean to him when they did...nothing....not hing at all. When I told him we needed to talk he ran from me and said "no, you cant catch me". Spoke with Mom and she gave him a talk and said it was because she let him stay up late. Yesterday he came and was the great kid from Monday....today...Tu esday boy is back!! The kids were at the playground and he wanted a turn with a piece of equipment my daughter was using. He didn't say anything, just started trying to pull her and push her away and the said "I'll fight you!!" When I told him to stop and come talk to me he ran, hid under a slide and said "you can't get me from here". I managed to pull him out and tried putting him in a time out. He wouldn't stay put so I carried him back home.

This boy is turning 4 in a month and a half. His favourite phrases are "oh my god." and "what the hell".
