Addi loves homework!!!

Tonight we went eat Mexican for dinner and to Baskin-Robbins for dollar scoop night. We got back home at about 7:15 and started the evening routine...pack lunch, bath/shower, medicine, etc. Today was also the first day of "homework packets"...instead of just having a sheet in her folder each day we now have the week's homework all at once (makes it nice so you can get ahead if you want) and a reading log (Addison is supposed to read one book each night with someone). So, she and I got busy on that...tonight was only supposed to be to cut out and go over letter/sound flashcards and read a book, but Addison really wanted to do some paper/pencil work too so we worked on tomorrow night's worksheet as well. So we ended up spending about 30 minutes working on homework together...and she loved it. I had to stop her from doing the rest of the week's work because it was bedtime. When we were putting things away for the night she looked at me and said, "Mama, this is the best night of my life...because I got to do so much homework!" It was too cute and sweet, but I'm afraid the feeling's not going to last for too many more years. But who knows? She may be completely different than her Mommy and Daddy were growing up and love it forever, but I doubt it! I'll just enjoy her enthusiasm for now! :)
