Don't You

[sally]

Just love when Monday rolls around and makes you want to scream? A few of my kids are extremely spoiled at home and every Monday they come in bragging to all the other kids about every toy and movie they got over the weekend. All the other kids either are young enough to be jealous or tired of hearing them brag. Does anyone else have this problem?

You gotta love that, right? I usually try to nip that in the beginning of the day Monday. At circle time, I let them share one thing about the weekend. If they brag as soon as they come in, I usually say something like " wow! What a weekend! And here you are back at dc again! Let's get a plan together for you today. " if they keep going then it's " sounds great, but you are here now, let's get in the moment". They usually get the hint quickly ::

Hate Monday's.

2 yo can't feed herself and wants to be held all day.

zombie video game addict 3yo is mad because I took out all the blocks he typically makes guns with to be one step ahead of his gun obsession.

It's also like electronic withdrawal around here. Nobody has an attention span.

Some of them are real food starving. Monday is always seconds across the board and I PLAN for it now. Today was no exception.

the rest are cranky and exhausted and nap is either super long and easy (like today) or super short and miserable (since they can't get back into routine).
