Four under 2.5!!!

**lauraring1** · 14-05-2013, 11:10 AM

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

(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,

Sam x

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)

I. Feel for you.its hard work.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!

**The Juggler** · 14-05-2013, 08:53 PM

wow! busy day

**lauraring1** · 15-05-2013, 12:20 PM

Lets just say I'm enjoying just having the 3 today :0)

Ouch... 3 under 15 months! Your brave :0) well done for getting them all down at the same time! My 3 are all still fast asleep too...

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)
