I keep telling him to bring a book, but he keeps for getting. I don't like the tv on during the day. He doesn't like to read out loud. Most days he doesn't have home work. He likes doing crafts, but the few times we have done them, he ends up taking a lot of my craft supplies home. its been raining in the afternoon, so going out is out. I think this will be the last time i take on a b&a kid until I have enough room for two, that way they can hopefully play together.
