The reluctantly constant gardener

Sebastian has been punished. I had to think thru this one carefully and not be too rash shooting myself in the foot during school holidays, which meant not banning tv ( aka my sleep in). Nor Lego ( quiet rest time)
So after some deliberation it was decided no computer games for 2 weeks and 30 min of gardening every day of the holidays

the first day I thought the ingenious plan had backfired. " mum I love weeding!"
Hmmmm

But like clockwork the task has become tiresome and hard work and boring. Excellent!
But to his credit he has stuck at it everyday with a little encouragement
