Recently, I've moved bedtime forward a bit to make sure they're ready and refreshed for school the next day.
I'm not sure how many of you find this occurring, but for my two, it seems to have become a bit of a ritual. I call it a ritual as, sadly, it's been going on for some time now.
It usually goes like this:
Bath, PJ's, bed, snack (usually toast or fruit - I find they sleep better if fed just before hand), a drink and either a story (we're quite big fans of Whizz Pop Granny Stop! at the moment) or a DVD. The DVD can be anything from Peter Pan to Bedtime with Elmo - Just nothing too hyper before they sleep, followed by...... drum roll please.....

They broke up from school seven days ago… and I’m already losing the will to live. I don’t understand where my darling children have gone, and why they’ve been replaced by havoc wreaking demons! I mentioned the bomb going off in the living room toy box the other day, well this morning, after waking up with a headache and a cold, I was faced with a train set tripping hazard on the hallway, which just happens to be in between my bedroom and the bathroom. After standing on two little trees, stubbing my toe on a train station and then tripping over the bridge, I knew I was all set up for a very bad day indeed. This, my friends is a full on rant. So brace yourselves. Those who know me, know I love a good rant. No more so though, than when it's justified
Now I don't drive; I have no issues with using the 'peasant wagon', train or taxis. Hell, I'd get a chauffer if I could afford it, but I can't. Anyway....... Back to the point! I'm stood waiting patiently for the bus to arrive, (it's late but I wasn't in any rush, so no biggie), when an older lady pushes in in front of me. Amelia started school earlier this month and had been looking forward to it for weeks. She was kind of chucked straight in at the deep end with full days - first day was great and then each day after that getting progressively worse (I don't think she realised she had to go every day). Sadly the same could be said of Will. Earlier this week, I was seriously considering consulting the one and only Jo Frost - Super Nanny to most of us. |
