I called Jaclyn after work this evening, and she had some exciting news for me. Miles got his first homework assignment today. By her account, he had come running out of daycare this afternoon holding up a paper and happily exclaiming, “LOOK! I GOT HOMEWORK!” This is the last time I anticipate him reacting to such news in this way.
Still, I was happy he was so excited about it. “What’s your homework?” I asked him on the phone.
“I have to find the moon!” he said.
“Like in the sky?” I asked.
“Yeah!”
“Well you’re already pretty good at that, right?”
“YEAH!”
I’m just happy this isn’t one of those homework assignments WE’LL have to complete for him.
