First Night of Homework AND...

it went surprisingly well! We had to push Anthony just a smidge but he finished with a decent amount of time to shower and play before bed. He wrote out his spelling words nice and neat and read his book for 20 minutes.

Jackson didn't have any formal homework from school so I gave him 3 worksheets to complete. Of course my spitfire took the challenge and completed them correctly in no time! I pretty much know that he's the one we'll have to continually keep entertained and busy or else he'll lose interest and get bored and cause trouble. I'm bummed that he's 15 days younger than the State cut off but he'll have that extra JUMP on his peers academically.

Taylor did well staying dry...most of my updates about her will probably be potty training related for a while. This starts the second full week of potty training and she's really doing well. Mornings are the roughest for us because she's like her momma and loves to stay up late and sleep in late. So getting the groggy tired girl to go potty w/o slumping over and falling back asleep is a challenge.

Tonight it was me and the boys eating dinner together and OMG they did SOOOOO well cooperating and helping me out! I didn't even have to ask them, they volunteered this all on their own. Hmmmm, whatever aliens possessed them tonight...please keep this trend going, it's AWESOME! I started their Karate Good Deed Sheet and of course they each got 2 lines completed on there. When they get to 20, they can turn in the sheet for a star on their uniforms.
