My son is 4, and has a problem going from one activity to another at daycare. Like if say its time to come in and play inside, he wants to stay outside. This morning he wouldn't put his pj's away(which he does everyday) until he finished a coloring he was working on. Normally this particular thing isn't a problem, but he sometimes gets so focused on something he won't just stop for a second and put away his pj's in this instance. Thats pretty typical.
I have MS and(as my husband says) I need not to have power stuggles w/ him period,let alone ones I lose. What do I do? help!!!

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
