Joey is pretty much out of school now, only going in for the play rehearsals - and even then we have been asked that one of us sit in as Joey can be disruptive.  I have some sympathy for him.  They have been rehearsing since September and are now on to 3hr long rehearsals.  That is a long, long time for an over-active 10 yr old to keep still and follow instructions.

But even that doesn't keep him out of trouble.  Anne went backstage to find Joey throwing a punch at Michael.  Fortunately, Anne had seen that Michael had been holding Joey in a head-lock and that Joey was just defending himself.  Seems that Michael had been messing about and Joey had asked him to stop.  Which is rather unusual.  Things escalated and Joey does not know how to back down.  But, as I told him afterwards, he has the right to defend himself if need be.  And, by all accounts, it was a sweet punch, connected with the kids face and made him cry!
