Kai was always my homework buddy. Didn't matter the time or what was going on - if I had books out she HAD to be in my lap. She loved to fall asleep with her head on the book and give me dirty looks for waking her when I needed to turn the page.
Your study buddies don't look to be much motivation - other than to curl up and go to sleep with 'em.
I can't wait to meet Mia this winter.
