Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde

I keep telling myself I should know better. I should know things can change at any moment. I am so aware of what my kids came from... :P

The last two days, Thomas has refused to go to school. I wouldn't call it "refusal behavior". When I told him lets get ready for school, he just hollered, "Nooooooo..." over and over. This is after he ran back to his bedroom and buried himself under his blankets. I tried to coerce him for 15 to 20 minutes, reminding him how much fun he has at school and his favorite things to do there. Nothing. He won't budge. Each time I say "school", he says "Noooooo". He's been in a perfectly fine mood, and he's not sick anymore. It appears after Spring Break that he genuinely doesn't want to go back to school. I can't imagine why after how much fun he has there. We've been pretty active at home outside with the beautiful weather turn. He's enjoying playing and just walking around the yard picking flowers. I'm not sure what to do about the school thing. He's not starved of learning, I'm teaching him stuff everyday. To quote a movie line from a favorite actor, "I'm sure a solution will present itself."
