Gabe asks me to spell his endless list of words. So, our roles are reversed from yours but I totally get where you're coming from!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189835841507845518.post-5476563105278358022010-10-01T22:31:14.052-07:002010-10-01T22:31:14.052-07:00You're the kind of mom that is exceptional.

You don't have to do that, I just send it home because some of the kids who have older siblings want homework too."
