I have to be out of town for the few days to go to a tech conference, so tonight I was doing my best to get Tucker organized. Each night he has homework to do to help him learn good study behaviors. (These are words from his teacher's newsletter.) So, I was trying to get him to do as much of the homework as we could together, so that he didn't have to rely so much on his daddy. They tend to get busy playing and forget about that kind of stuff when I am not around! Part of Tucker's homework was just to properly write upper case and lowercase ABC's. Sounds easy enough, right? We are doing fine until we hit G. For some reason, Tuckers starts losing concentration and does a lower case a, then q, pretty much every letter but lowercase g. Let's just say I really don't have a lot of patience anyway, and this just about did me in. So, I just got up from the table and told him to finish his homework on his own, and I start cleaning the dinner dishes. Tucker huffs at me and says, "So, I guess it's true what they say about redheads...they ARE violent." I couldn't help but giggle a little bit when he said this since I had my back to him anyway and all I did was get up and do the dishes. I don't know where he heard that, but I would like to exchange "impatient" for "violent", please. :0) I can't wait to hear how John and Tucker do with the rest of the homework this week.
