I watch mostly under 3 year olds.
My oldest little is about to turn 3 on Saturday. She is here from 7:45-2:30. I feel like she doesn't get to have a lot of fun while she's here. She cries almost every morning because she doesn't get to watch Dora all day like at mommies. She's happy if she can be up playing with all of the loud toys unfortunately that doesn't work.
My son and other littles get here before her (starting at 5:30). They all go back to sleep until around 9:30. Then it's breakfast time.
After breakfast they play until 12:00 then clean up and lunch.
After lunch it's diaper changes and potty time then nap for all of the other kids.
She doesn't nap. She wants to nap from 10-11:30 the only real play time she is here for.
The other littles nap from 1-3 then are up the rest of the day.
I feel so bad she's always upset because she has to have quiet time when the littles sleep.
She has to lay down in the morning until the other littles wake up. She sleeps in the playroom because she wakes the other littles up if in the "sleepy" room.
In the afternoon she gets to read books and play with play dough. She seems to make even these tasks loud! I need some new quiet time activities for her.
It is driving me crazy that she cannot nap in the afternoon. It's my only time to clean and have a few minutes with my husband.
If she sleeps with the other littles from 1-2:30 when mom picks up she stays up until 2 am! Then comes and is a cranky pants all day for me.
Any ideas on how to help this situation? If you've made it this far thanks.
