It is the biggest stress factor in my life getting three kids dressed and fed and out the door early enough for me to be in time for work! My eldest is 6, so at least she can do most things for herself, but nursing a baby, who is distracted at the least noise or movement, and getting a very uncooperative toddler dressed, can take a LOT of minutes. Luckily it is getting warmer here (southern hemisphere) and that means a lot less clothes to put on.Annalienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695828781625481890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-70910821964783839752010-08-31T20:34:52.243-07:002010-08-31T20:34:52.243-07:00We followed the AAP guidelines and didn't do t...We followed the AAP guidelines and didn't do t.v. until Will turned two unless we were at a friends' house and they had it on or as a very special treat (after his surgery, we watched a couple of Elmo's World programs to encourage him to rest). We still limit his t.v. watching to less than an hour a day and there are days when we don't watch at all.<br /><br />We haven't watched that much yet, but he LOVES Elmo's World, some parts of Sesame Street (that include Elmo), Caillou (on PBS), and Curious George (also PBS). I am SO thankful that I turned on Yo Gabba Gabba and he turned to me and said, "Turn t.v. off, please."Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-69333869860708409242010-08-31T19:39:53.110-07:002010-08-31T19:39:53.110-07:00When did you let Will start watching TV?

I am a tea drinker, and use a travel mug that is indestructible if dropped (i.e. lid does not come off) and has a teeny hole at top to sip liquid which can be turned to block off completely if need be. Works for me, and I drank from it while nursing. I made sure, of course, to turn my head and lips in opposite direction just in case. And this travel cup has a handle (which helps prevent slips), and the liquid stays far warmer longer. Just something to think about.<br /><br />Your mornings sound like mine on Tues/Wed (when I am home with girls in the a.m.) 'cept for the shower. I can't do that in the mornings - have to do at night when Daddy has the captain's wheel.<br /><br />"Logistics" of going from Point A to B scare the crap outta me, too. Every time I am lugging Peanut's car seat I wonder how people with twins ever leave the home. It was a HUGE shock to me when we added Peanut to the family, having never gone through the infant stuff before and all of their gear!!!Ms. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734867984972785143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-85709336651793288352010-08-31T08:31:39.666-07:002010-08-31T08:31:39.666-07:00I do like reading these.

As of yet, we have no fully secured toddler area in our apartment, but starting to consider one (i.e. the only gate in the place is on the kitchen and there is at least a little non-serious trouble the fusspot can get into in every room, mainly of the pulling my books off the bookshelves).<br /><br />I am impressed that you shower in the morning. I gave that up entirely when living alone with the fusspot, and will probably do so again indefinitely come springtime.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243054875237959038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-26123348871967852132010-08-31T08:20:40.665-07:002010-08-31T08:20:40.665-07:00This could actually make a very funny comedy sketc...This could actually make a very funny comedy sketch if told in the same increments but from their points of view.<br /><br />God bless you, mama!
