New Year's Resolutions....

Did anyone have any this year? I think about them, but I'm not much of a resolution maker. Jack came home with a paper with a sequined decorated title of "2009". On it he wrote:

"I promis to read evre nigt.
and read 15 minits evre nigt.
and do my homewrek win I get home."

I love the misspellings as much as what he wrote. I also love that he's still years away from wanting to drop 15-20 pounds in the new year! ;)
So, after school he comes in to get a snack and then starts playing his Nintendo DS. I sat there staring and blinking at him. He didn't notice. So, I got this paper off of the fridge and quoted "2009....and do my homewrek WIN I GET HOME!"
He looked up and smiled then said "I really meant that to be for 2008, not 2009."
Ahhh! He's a clever one!
I've used this paper daily as a reminder of what he wrote until yesterday he added "I really wish I wouldn't have wrote that on my paper."

I understand!....but it's a great tool for me that puts the hook back on him and lessens the one on me for awhile! ;)
