My new motto is “I can do it, yes I can!”
:) Today I had five kids and it went relatively smoothly. I
handled things well anyway. Lex had a bit of a meltdown this
morning when I put our new toddler in his booster seat. Lex
said he didn’t want a snack so I put our new friend in his
chair and Lex came around the corner and lost it. It was rough.
I felt bad for him, but still had to handle four other kids
too. Luckily for me (very luckily!) they were all very sweet
while I dealt with Lex. Tomorrow it’s just us and the baby
again, which I consider a quiet day. I’ll try to do some extra
bonding with Lex. I’ve also been trying to help him assign
words to his feelings and help him understand that it’s ok to
be unhappy about sharing all of his stuff with these new kids,
but we have to come up with different ways to handle those
feelings. Anyway, I’m rambling here but my point is that I DID
IT! :)
