i don't know how to put it but to be brutally honest...this is the most difficult time brent and i have experienced so far as parents.  never did i think a five year old would be able to push all the buttons, pick fights and argue about absolutely everything.  something has got to change.  while max loves kindergarten, it is different from pre-school and he is simply tired every day after focusing hard every day.  we have to get him to bed earlier and give him some "max" time as soon as he gets home to just relax and hang out.  hope to see an improvement soon, very soon.  seriously.
