no napland is just north of cranky kid country. this morning was rough on the kiddos who see no reason to wake up in the dark in the morning. i believe my son's logic is no sun=no son. k wakes up with a little snuggle and a ready start go. both were whiny this morning. we are working on making fewer those moments of crying and whining when they do not get what they want. not always pleasant for us.
school seemed to go ok. k had a nice drop-off and seemed ready for her window wave good-bye almost immediately. r was a little touchy still but managed to settle down towards the reading section with a few hugs. k told her teachers about her manatee and said she slept with a manatee. i don't know if they believed her as i was asked to confirm the information; i said yes that k's masee and uncle tom had brought her a manatee from florida. during pick-up, i found r at the lego station with a bunch of boys making a vehicle. he seemed eager to stay and build. we worked on it for a bit and then moved to bungalow c for ms k who was having a cracker snack. this caused another 10 minute delay.
when we finally got tired and cranky children home, it was about 15-20 minutes earlier than usual so that was a good start to getting dinner in them faster and getting them to bed earlier. r has moved into no napland since the holidays and continued to live there. so he is tired when he comes home. i am hoping if i can get him home earlier and upstairs earlier... we shall see.
today she was asleep by 8:30 and he by 8:45.
