I have so many notes that were pinned to my suitcase and items that grandma felt the need to write my name on. It is good to be loved

Happy birthday to your grandpa! It’s wonderful that he is still an important part of your life. My own grandpa died when I was 14, and I miss him very much.

Your kids eating dinner sounds like my kids eating dinner! I do try to sit down with them but I’m finding it torture these days. They just fool around and don’t eat their dinner. It drives me nuts and I find myself continually repeating “sit down and eat your dinner”. Grrr….

I only have 1 question—-Why are you cleaning up after rest time? Even toddlers in daycares here are taught at an early age about pick-up pick-up time. There is a song that goes along with it and all the children have to help with pick-up and put things back on the shelves or back in the boxes.

A suggestion for young kids is also not to have too many toys available for them. Many blogs I read put things in “storage” and limit their toys for a period of time and then put those away and introduce them to the “new” toys. Even daycares do this.
It keeps their interest active and they don’t get bored with having too many things to choose from to play with.

When you say the girls have given up their naps–does that mean totally or just a morning or an afternoon nap. Kids need at least 1 totally quiet time a day, mostly in the afternoon—at least until kindergarten age and many all day kindergartens still have nap/quiet time in the afternoon–not so much for the teachers but for the kids so they are not cranky in the early evening for their parents.
