"Oh good! My toddler is happy. He can sit in this chair beside us. We will get all sorts of wonderful school work done while he is happily sitting in this chair. Oh he has a green marker. Well, normally I would not allow him to have a marker but he is obviously thrilled with the idea of coloring the paper with it which will allow us precious more minutes for grammar, math, reading and language... Hooray for a toddler who can be content!"
