This is the face................

...................of a boy that needs fed NOW!!!!

OMG get food in him now cos it's going to turn nasty. It actually nearly did. He was hit hard with the ball and he started crying VERY loudly and kicking stuff (not the ball) in anger.

Two solid hours of playing football on the grass with all the neighbourhood boys. There are a lot of boys here.

Oh.....I must add that I had parent teacher consultation today (as I did exactly a year ago I see). He's in top group for everything. His handwriting is so so neat in his school jotters but a terrible illegible mess in his homework jotter. Teacher did point this out but wasn't bothered about it. She did describe him as 'timid' and 'shy'. I told her he was neither of these really but he could be reserved at times. Last teacher saw this as some kind of failing, something to overcome. This teacher accepted that this is just a small part of him and so what.................he's a wee bit quiet sometimes.
