It's a day! The children have not been here but two hours today and they are ALL crabby, tired and whiny. Every parent commented that their children did not sleep well last night and 3 of the 5 have runny noses. I foresee an early nap today

It was early nap here too. They were all good until about 10:30 and then the melt downs began. Usually lunch is 11:30-12:00 but today it was 11:00-11:30 and naps immediately after. Do not pass go. Do not pick up toys
.
I didn't even bother making them clean up before lunch/naps because they were all SOO DONE and it was going to be more stressful for me to make them clean it up than do it myself. It stands to reason though, since I had a good Monday in daycare terms (everything else went to hell that day though)

I had a dcp tell me at drop off that dcg has diarrhea due to her new meds. She has a doctor's note, so I let her stay, but I am making her wear pull-ups (she is newly potty trained). Dcg has been wailing all day about it. But ... I'm not taking that chance. Nope, sorry!Comment

It's like a full moon....but without the actual full moon! All but one of mine crashed at nap time. The one who isn't sleeping desperately wants to but can't get comfortable enough to sleep. He is quietly resting on his cot though.
I just saw your post - I sure hope tomorrow is better for you too!Comment

Mmmm, that looks fantastic!
I am counting down the days until school starts and we are back to our normal daily routine.
I have 3 kids off to Kindy this Fall and a new baby sister for one of my preschoolers. I don't have SA kids in care but I do have a few teacher families that have their kids on strange schedules due to it being summer vacation so my days are pretty open ended and honestly it is starting to wear on me....
I "need" my oldest kids to be on their way already....
(I have issues with kids that are that age because they are tough to manage and not my ideal age group to work with)
I have certain activities and centers that are only out during the school year and I think some of my kids are having withdrawals from not having those options
and I am craving the low key days we normally have in the winter months.
Only 3 more weeks here and routine and consistency will be regular and normal around here.

I think school starts here after Labor Day too but MY "school year" begins the 3rd week in August.
2 weeks before September 1, I require ALL kids that had wonky schedules/attendance for the summer to resume regular attendance.
1 week before September 1, I no longer provide services to those kids entering Kindy. Parents and families need to make alternate care arrangements for their soon-to-be Kindy children.
So technically "real" school starts here around the same time as you but my routine begins to slowly creep back to normal a few weeks prior.

Wow, school starts late in your areas! Some children here went back as early as the last week of July. The rest start this week or next.Comment
