Camden told me last night that his head hurt (I wonder why?). I was trying to find the Children's Motrin for him to take. He finally said "It's OK Mommy, it's not hurting, it's just "beeping" hurting." Does he mean throbbing? Only a seven year old would understand a "beeping" kind of hurt. Oh, and his stomach does the same thing.
Daddy gave us a call this morning. We were excited to hear from him and he also gave Camden a little pep talk! Just what we need for the middle of the week! We love you Daddy!!!
Thank you everyone for the sweet comments and words of encouragement! They mean so much!
Hang in there, it will get better. We have all been there & done that with homework - I use to hate that time of day ;-) just remind Camden that if he does good, you all get to do something fun on the weekends; that would give him something to look forward to...how is Bentley doing? I know he misses his daddy too. Love you guys and keeping you all in our prayers.

Its hard I know, but something that has to be done. i wish I had the knowledge to get you through this, Take a break and count to 100 I guess. Maybe in time he will adjust to school work. I am sure that with his Daddy talking to him, that maybe it will sink in. He is a good child, but for some reason he does not do _homework. All I can realy say is do the best you can, that is all we can ask of you. Remember that you have all the family rooting for you and you will make it too. No looney bin for you----

Kim, have you talked to the teacher for suggestions on homework? Depending on what type she gives you, she may have ideas on how to get him better prepared for homework? Also, time of day is a big thing. Are you doing it before dinner? right after school? Maybe if you do it after dinner, and let him know that dessert/snack comes after homework, he will be better prepared. Or maybe after homework, he gets a half hour on his favorite thing (computer, PSP, etc.) if he does a good job. Just some things to think about. I'm still going thru it in high school. My rule: Get home from football, take shower, eat, and then at 7:00 (about 45 mins after dinner) we start homework. If there is time for tv after that, he can watch. If I get attitude during homework, no tv! Just a suggestion!
