As one of my mindee's has swapped a day I have 4 under 2.5.... To say I'm shattered is an understatement, 1x 8 month old, 2x 19 month olds and a 2.5 year old. All have had lunch, bum changes etc... Now hoping to get all 4 sleeping at the same time!! Fingers crossed... Will then give me time to update daily diary's and prepare for the 4 I'm picking up from school... Roll on bed time :0)

Think I would be saying roll on wine time not bedtime :laughing: (unless of cause you mean mindees bedtime)
School run could be slow with a 2.5 walking good luck :)

You are brave, sounds like you are on top of it though.
Just remember to take 5 minutes for you whilst they are all asleep and at least have a cuppa to help get you ready for the next set.
Good luck,

Ouch! In sept I have a new sibling coming and will have 1x9month, 2x 19months and a 3.5yr old 1 day a week and that sounds hard enough!

Luckily they all went down at 12.15ish and all went straight to sleep... And are still sleeping now :0) nearly 2 hours to recharge the batteries ready for the influx of schoolies.... Lovely :0)
That's brilliant!!
My two (ages 8 months and 15 months both went down at 1pm and are still fast too! Lunch in peace!!! X

A Nice kinda hard work! I enjoy busy days. To sit and have a cuppa, once the little ones are napping, is so refreshing and well earned!

I had 4 on Monday , only becasue I was helping out another minder who was ill
it really wasnt fun , and I was counting the hours til they went home
Well done , I do wonder how realistic it is to do it every day though as ET suggests
I think those that do it will soon be frazzled :(

I agree with you there! I was counting down the hours too! I for one certainly won't be doing it every day :0)
