Homework

Nights are getting better.  Levi is sleeping faster and by himself.  He is still tired and fragile but really he is just getting used to school.  Tonight was no exception.  He had homework from school.  He had to write out some spelling words and had to do a math worksheet and read his home reader.  He was not happy!  His comment;

"I would prefer to do an hour of Mathletics than do this homework!"

I thought that I would bust with laughter but if you do that then he would be very cranky!  I did explain to him that perhaps that was why he had to do the homework, because it was hard.  It was not an easy sell.  He grumped and cried about his homework.  He got cranky and broke his pencil.  When all of that failed to get a rise from me, he did his homework.  It took us a long time, much, much longer than it should have.  Hopefully he will 'break' earlier tomorrow and faster again the next day.  I have to go to Townsville on Outreach next week and I want him to be happy with the whole routine when he has to go upstairs for a few nights! 

He is a sweet thing but does get a little high strung with changes.  He will get into a routine with his work and it won't be a problem.  It just might take me a little while to get him there!
