First Homework

Thomas got his first homework assignment yesterday. It was a questionnaire titled All About Me. Things like, when is your birthday, who's in your family, what's your favorite TV show, etc. As we sat down yesterday afternoon to do it, Thomas looked at me and said, "Mommy, when am I going to get homework where I do all the work? Big kids have homework like that you know." I told him he could write the answers on his paper if he wanted to and I'd tell him how to spell it all. He decided that was too much writing and that I could do it this time. I'm glad he's excited about homework and am definitely NOT going to burst his bubble about how much homework he's going to have in his lifetime and that it may not all be fun.
