More than ready

The last few weeks have been hard emotionally for me. Owen has been difficult, he is cranky and bored easily, so he does things he shouldn't like playing with the CD player or he runs around and around the kitchen table - looking out from the corner of his eye - his new visual stim....arrrghhh. He screams and yells a lot and this upsets Cy who cries and whines really loudly which makes Owen yell even louder. To put it simply Owen can be hard work, he needs alot of attention, he is curious and naughty and he can be a down right bully, (Cy cops it most)and everyone is frustrated with him at some point during the day. So I feel it is really time for him to move on to preschool a couple of days a week. I have mixed feelings about the fact that Cy and Owey will be in the same class, of course Cy will be able to help with signs and communication but I am a little worried that Cy will have lost his respite days from Owey, Cy really needs a break from him. I guess it's one of those 'suck it and see' moments (do you know that expression?). And anyway it will only be for 10 weeks before school closes for the year, then Cy will move to the Kindy room in 2013. (our school year runs from Feb till December). Everything changes. My hope is that with Owey in preschool 2 days he will appreciate and enjoy being at home again instead of running a terror campaign on the house and everyone in it.
