Life Lesson #18

If you expect a kindergarten boy to sit down to do his handwriting without complaining (too much), you'd better follow the session immediately with an M&M break.

As an addendum to this life lesson, the second grader will always finish his math 8 seconds before the kitchen timer goes off indicating that he is now "overtime" and will have to do another page.

Such is the bribery and motivation here on our first day of school.  I work for M&M's, too. The currency in our family just happens to be sweet and multi-colored.

This reminds me of Aidan...maybe I should buy stock in M&M's too.

God bless,
