We woke up early this morning in order to get the kids ready for school. Overnight, I had already woken up to my daughter crying to go to the bathroom. While she can go by herself, we have been forced to put an alarm on her door so she can not get out at night. She tends to go into the kitchen, eat food, climb up on things and generally gets into things that are not allowed. We don’t like the solution, but have been unable to solve the problem.
Anyway, back to today. After the late night potty visit, my daughter also decided to open her backpack during the night and get into her new crayons and glue. We also had to restrict these items under normal circumstances due to her insistence that walls and furniture can take the place of drawing paper. We are still waiting for the budding Picasso in our midst to accepts our terms regarding the proper use of note paper vs. furniture as writing surfaces.
This morning, my wife got the oldest two dressed while I took care of the baby. He was in a good mood, which I appreciated. Lately, it’s been hit or miss whether Nacho or Mr. Hyde would show up.
My wife got the kids to school and I dropped off Nacho at daycare. The year’s first drop off was successfully accomplished. Let’s see how this afternoon’s pickup will go.
