Gone for the past week visiting family, Dallas was exceptionally well behaved. Is it not amazing that these kids can behave themselves when they want to? Makes you realize that they truly do know how to behave well, they only have to want to.

The past few days without Dallas has been such a reprieve. I have enjoyed the break. We did have one incident where I received multiple calls from him that I missed. I finally get ahold of him and he tells me he broke his leg skateboarding and can not get ahold of his aunt and uncle. After a few tense minutes we get ahold of someone to pick him up and take him to the Emergency Room. The “broken leg” was really a large laceration that required many sutures. The habit of embellishing injuries, along with truth, has been a constant personality trait we have had to deal with. I can never accept a story as stated; as the truth will have been stretched in one direction or another.

All in all, I am very pleased and happy that Dallas did so well with his aunt and uncle. That is a glimmer of hope that he may one day choose to live life differently. I will be here pushing him along and making headway, I hope!

In order to assist me in this I have decided to order the program, The Total Transformation. I have looked at their websit over and over and finally decided that the large price tag is worth it if we make some positive changes in our relationship and his behavior. I hate the thought of spending all that money if it fails. There is only a 30 day refund policy so you have to see changes pretty quickly. I have received it and listened to the first disc. To tell you the truth I am not completely amazed at the information or the way it is presented but the way we are doing things now is not working so I am going to give this a wholehearted chance. I will give a weekly update on the program and if and how it is helping us change our family dynamics so we can be successfull.
