I have attempted to create a routine. It currently exists on my piece of notebook paper, but not in real life. I think that's good enough for me. It at least gives me the illusion of some normalcy and control.
I'm quite pleased that the kids have gone the whole week at daycare without having accidents at naptime. (What would you do-oo for a Klondike, er piece of candy?) We have resorted to having them wear double pull-ups at night. Yay for less laundry!
We did get a spot in a pre-school only about a mile away from our house. It's a nice set-up for us where they will have preschool in the morning, but the afternoon is daycare. This allows us to have some flexibility of when we pick them up, which is good considering the amount of appointments we have to schedule for them. I'm also planning to pick up one earlier than the other for some 1:1 time alternating days. I hope this is good for them!
We have been told that they are "honeymooning," but can't help being pleased that their behavior is improving. Sticker charts seem to be pretty effective so far, and setting a timer helps them stay on task. Overall, they're respecting the boundaries we set.
Last n
ight we had a friend over, and they asked if they could please take our plates to the sink. Um, yes please! They were also cute, delivering the pie & ice cream to our guest & Dave.
Oh, and they brought their bikes to our house now. Living on a hill was great for the flood season, but it's less conducive to bike riding. Dave, doesn't seem to tire of running alongside them, ready to redirect a poor steering job.
Overall, they've been a lot of fun & we see a lot of potential in them!
