"I'm too tired"

I've been noticing she claims to be getting tired sooner and sooner after we sit down to do schoolwork.  Partly I think it's because she gets bored with the easy stuff (i.e, "trace the rectangles then color them" -- she's the only kid I know who doesn't like to color) and partly I think it's because she can't wait to watch Spongebob on the computer.

Today I suggested we finish 3 pages from 3 workbooks before watching movies on the computer, and she counter suggested doing 3 pages from 1 workbook.  So we agreed to 3 pages from 1 workbook this week, 3 pages from 2 workbooks next week, and 3 pages from 3 workbooks the following week.

She traced good squares and rectangles today, though.  Later we'll be going to Sharon's baby shower so I will hopefully have some pictures to share.
