...all things that HAVEN'T happened today
It's just been one of those days (and it's only Tuesday...!!!!) Still, tomorrow is another day, and surely things will improve (if I keep telling myself that, it's bound to come true...isn't it?)
How do you ladies combat the area of sharing nicely? I have plenty of toys to go round, alot of them are doubles, but still it doesn't seem enough. We even had beginnings of WWIII at the dining table today, as one of the children decided she wanted a plate (just a plain red plate) another child had (she had exactly the same but in pink - her fave colour!) I just can't win....
Also, have you got any tips on tidying/putting away? Is there a way I can make it a fun activity? When I ask the children to pack away, they all seem to suddenly be ill. One of them said she couldn't cos her legs were hurting. I just said "well it's a good job you need to use your arms then"...hee hee. Then another time I got "I don't have to pack away here - you do it for me" - well, I'm not going down THAT route.
I won't let them get another toy out until they've packed away ones that they've finished playing with - that's not wicked/wrong of me surely?
