Thanks guys. I know it seems I am making a mountain out of a molehill. It is more that the school is doing that, coupled with my worries about Nathan's emotional/mental state thanks to our ongoing limbo.
He told me that he cries in his bed at night sometimes because he wants us to live together and he misses his dad. And he said he is mad at me sometimes because I only 'let' him call his dad right before bed and he doesn't get to talk to him much. For the record, Nathan usually jumps on the phone with a quick "Good night dad, I love you" and jumps back off to go play or get ready for bed. Some nights we don't even call b/c Nathan says he will just talk to his dad the next day. So it is hard to know what is going on in his head.
As far as the fighting thing, Dan has even said in front of Nathan that we used to fight (playfight of course) when we were school aged kids and never got in trouble for it. We got to play tag, we played football and knocked each other down, even red rover where you got clotheslined. But now thanks to school violence and shootings they can't even point imaginary lightsabers at each other!!!
These boys are not mean to Nathan. They are his two best friends and one other boy. Nathan loves playing with these kids but now he is getting into trouble for it. I guess a talk about time/place with him may be in order. I don't want him to become a girly-boy wimp, either. But I have to do something to get him to stop rough-housing at school.
By the way he still chews on his shirts at the neck and wrist. And his teacher had him go to the first grade classroom Thursday (he is kindergarten) to watch how the older kids sit still and listen during class. He wiggles and talks during class.
Someone in my family mentioned ADD, can't remember if it was my mom or who. Anyway I said I don't think he has that at ALL, I think he has a case of B-O-Y. He is an energetic six year old who has trouble sitting and focusing for six hours a day (they get maybe an hour a day of recess/lunch time)...
