Things are still going quite smoothly. There has been a definite change in our home. Things weren't bad before, but they are just really awesome now.
Goodbye playroom overrun with abundance of annoying toys
It was during her first week at Montessori, that I went home right after work instead of picking her up right away, and loaded up almost all of her toys that she doesn't play with. Three, industrial sized black plastic bags and two tubs later, her playroom was transformed into ... tranquility.
All of these removed toys still are in the house- and in her bedroom's closet, as a matter of fact. She hasn't asked for ONE item. It's been four weeks and it's like she has no idea the toys are missing! HIZZAH! Soon I can start sneaking out bags to Goodwill.
Goodbye long drawn-out bedtimes
It was during her second week at Montessori, when she officially moved into the room where nobody naps, that bedtimes became... unbelievably... dream-like... easy. She's just so exhausted from all the work she does at school and not napping, that she's been falling asleep within minutes of laying down and me telling her a story. And there's never any kind of stalling for some water or going to the bathroom or hugging the cat or or or.
Hello beautiful, relaxing endings to our days
It's not that things weren't always like this-- where we just hung out after work and school. But it's just so super different now. So much more calming.
Maybe it's because she's really tired. Maybe it's because I lost a couple hours time being with her every day since she's no longer in the car with me commuting (school is two minutes from home now instead of 40-60), so I'm really trying to soak up every moment of our time together, but honestly, every day after work and school is so awesome and chill.
You show how precious each moment it-I have written down a lot, but you make me wish I had written down more! beebeesworld
