Nathalie is my daughter. When she started her adventure into elementary school, I thought I should start recording my thoughts before they fluttered away with the rest of my memory.

First Night of Homework

Dear Nathalie,

When you're older, and you're reading through these for the first time, you're really going to hate me for this particular post.  But this is just too good to pass up:

Tonight was your first official night of homework.  Your teacher will be sending home a packet of work to be completed throughout the week and you have to bring it back on Fridays.  In the homework notes, she mentions that homework should be a positive experience, that we should make it fun.

Mission accomplished!  You got so excited finding items around the house that start with the letter "c" that you forgot to use the bathroom and you peed your pants! 

I heard you screaming from the bathroom and I couldn't figure out what was wrong and you were just standing there when I walked in:

Nathalie:  Look at what's happening to me!
Mommy:  What?!?!
Nathalie:  I just wasn't fast enough!
Mommy:  I guess you got to excited about homework, huh?
Nathalie:  Yeah.

So, dear Nathalie, the lesson learned tonight:  homework can be fun, just as long as you use the potty before we get started! 

Love,
Mom
