wish I could take back this one!

I came down on Adam like a ton of bricks last night... and oh do I regret it now! For months and months Adam chooses not to bring his reading book home on the nioght it is given (tues and thur) nor his spellign words (mon). After reminding him everyday.. bring your spellings and your book home... he never does. At the weekend we had a very serious chat about listening to Mum and Dad or else he will begin to get punished. So yesterday I reminded him..... and he forgot! So he went to bed early. We had to hear about the 'unfairness' of it all.. the mean mum.. the 'it;s not my fault'.. the they did not give it out business. Well this morning my friend called and said Adam left his reading book at her house afterschool! Oooops!!!! I had to apologise to Adam about the reading book but not the spellings as those were no where to be seen.

HE got his school report yesterdy. He is doing well... right where he should be everywhere but his handwriting..... so we've got that to work on over the summer.
