Summer Vacation

Today was the first day of Lilia's summer vacation. Yesterday at school, her teacher explained her homework to me. She has to do about two Japanese prints per day (hiragana writing practice and vocabulary), and two math prints. She also has to write nine pages of her diary, keep track of the books she reads, water her morning glory every day, help fold the laundry every day, and make a piggybank. Oh, and we had to decide what time Lilia would wake up and go to bed during summer vacation.

I can't wait to see what Jio's homework is.

Dang! I want that kind of discipline in my kids' lives, especially the folding the laundry part.

Yeah, we'll see how far we get with that. She had homework in kindergarten too. We always started out well, but things would start to disintegrate after a couple of weeks.

Disintegration must be part of the process. How is the laundry folding goint?

So far, so good. Stubborn kid that she is, she has to put up resistance at first, but she's actually very good at folding towels!
