Have you ever had one of those days where your kids just seem so totally inattentive and it's an uphill battle just to get them to listen????? Well, I seemed to have hit one of those walls recently with Liam. Liam and his homework! *sigh*

He's a bright kid. And he normally just gets stuck right into his daily homework assignment as soon as he gets out of the car from the school pick-up. This one week in particular was a hard one to cope with... He had clearly made up his mind, that he just didn't want to learn.

*AAaaaarrrrggghhhh!!!*

Of course this tantrum came directly from following an amazing week of Grade Two, where he received 100% on his spelling test, extension words and number facts! Looking back on the whole struggle, I now realise he was starting to get sick and in all reality, he just wanted to be outside to play with his brother...

Never the less, I felt compelled to scrap it. That's what we do as scrappers, right? Scrap the good, the bad and the UGLY! LOL!

Journalling says: "please READ and do your homework. It's all I ask. It's not that it is hard. You certainly don't struggle to find the answers. You just prefer to be outside. Plain and simple..x"

I am glad to report now though, he is back to his normal chatty self. Happy to be annoyed by Mum and her on-the-spot spelling tests! hee hee..
