It's hard to be a toddler
Bean has been my little buddy the last few days as she is staying home with me since school let out last week. Since we are moving in less than 2 weeks, it was not worth trying to find daycare for her. She watches a movie in the morning while I work, then plays out in the conservatory for a little while. We take a long walk at lunch to get the energy out and if it's not raining, we stop by the park. In the afternoon, she goes to her friends house for a playdate while I get some more work done. So far, so good. However, next week when the movers come and take all of our things a week before we fly out, well, not sure how we will manage without a TV, toys or books. Maybe I can give her my computer and some work to do??
Gerbie on the other hand....she plays so hard all day at nursery school that by the time she gets home she is a mess - one big, tired, whiny mess. We get a bath and put pj's on and then she usually collapses somewhere, sometimes even taking a nap before bed. Take a look at all the pictures. Now mind you, she goes to bed between 5:30 and 6:00 every night and sleeps 12 hours, so she is getting sleep, but you would not be able to tell by these pictures, most of which were taken between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m after school. It is hard work being a toddler!
