2010-2011 Homeschooling year...Day 1

How to win the Mommy of the Year award....

This morning a certain 8 year old female who resides in my home decided to be particularly crabby about waking up and getting motivated for the day. They have known for 2 weeks that today was going to begin our new school year. After a VERY LONG TIME of trying to get her moving, I decided to drag her into her bathroom, plopped her (gently) in front of her toilet and I told her in no uncertain terms that she had better get motivated very quickly or I was going to dunk her head into the toilet.

Said threat had positive results and she started her morning routine. :)

Otherwise day 1 of school was extremely productive and we are very happy with the curriculum.

Perhaps Day 2 will start out more smoothly for the girl.

LOL glad your threat motivated Miss 8 year old. Hopefully day 2 starts a little quicker.
