Kylie went back to school on Tuesday and she was so excited to see her friends. She came home with a list of sight words to work on and in the first night she already knew 90% of them! She is awesome!
Sadly, though, at the end of school Thursday Kylie's teacher said that all week Kylie has been unmanageable. She didn't want to do anything, would lay on the floor and cry, or seclude herself in the corner. The only thing I could think of was that over the break she got used to waking up at 5.30 AM, and during Hayden's naptime (which is the same as her school time) she would have quiet time in her room with the tablet. (Not the whole time, but a good hour was spent that way). So it seems that she is just used to being tired at this time of day and can't handle school right now. The big question is how to fix it? How do I get her to sleep in during the mornings again?? During the afternoons I have been doing more engaging activities and not letting her go have tablet time. Ugh... I don't know. Hopefully I can figure out how to change her internal alarm clock for the mornings and then maybe things will work out...
On Friday I got out all the puzzles and we had fun doing them. Hayden has about four wooden ones, and I mixed them all up and he had to put them back together. It didn't phase him at all and he did that several times while Kylie and I worked on a harder puzzle. It was lots of fun and I enjoyed it because I usually can't get both of the kids doing an activity like that together for a long time.
By Saturday our weather finally cleared up and we went outside for a bit to ride our scooters. Kylie loved it! Hayden loved it until he fell down, and then he was done.
And the only reason I got a picture this week was because Kylie requested a picture of herself with her baby:
