We know how important it is for the kids to develop good homework habits early on. It can make all the difference when they are older and homework starts to really get hard and time consuming. We have provided them all with desks and comfy chairs in their rooms expressly for this purpose. So where do they consistently do their homework?
On the floor right by the front door. Weird. And then they complain when people open the door and hit them in the back. Or when people are walking from the kitchen to the living room and step on their papers. But still they won’t just go to their desks, despite my repeated reminders.
Sarah isn’t much better.
She does her homework on the floor of Chris’ office. At least she isn’t in a main traffic path, but still, it has to be hard writing on carpet. Sometimes she will sit at her desk, but not as often as I’d like. In fact, the kitchen table is their favorite alternative to the floor. Although I do hear complaints that the music/tv/conversation of others is too loud and distracting them. Gee, maybe it would be better in your room! (shakes head)
At least Nick does use his desk for homework. And to store his candy. And his trash. And his favorite books. And his drawings. Not sure how he has room to actually work, actually.
And this picture is just for fun. 
When the computer guru in your house is left-handed, it’s just easier to adapt then constantly move the mouse back and forth. All of us right handers are developing untapped regions in our brains, controlling the mouse with our left hand. 🙂 Alexandra knows no other way!
