Morning Rush
Let the FRIDAY madness begin !
But before we start the weekend,
I got to make a note to myself:
"GET THE KIDS TO SCHOOL ON TIME NEXT WEEK"
"GET THE KIDS TO SCHOOL ON TIME NEXT WEEK"

I keep wondering
while we are running like mad to the school gate:

"How is it possible that the other kids are always on time???"
Don't they have traffic jam?
Aren't they stubbornly?
Aren't they stubbornly?
Don't they dawdle around?
Well, mine are really stubbornly
and take too much time to get dressed and eat.
Luckily they are not grumpy in the morning #happykids

Here is our morning routine:
My alarm clock says 6h30 but actually
I don't need one because Mila is always up first.
She enters our room with full excitement
"Mommy Mommy it's light outside"
I try to tell her to wake me up in silence
but well, it hasn't been a success.

Daddy is already off to work, so she picks his spot.
We cuddle a bit till it's time to get up around 7 o'clock.
Meanwhile she already asked 10 times to get her bottle 😂

I wake up Maroo first and put her in my bed.
Then I make bottles and pick their clothes.

While they are watching Paw Patrol and drink their
bottles in bed, I make myself ready in 30 minutes.

Fashion issues can happen, when it takes me a bit longer :)

Before I was a mom I showered in the morning,
now I take a bath when the kids are off to bed!
So much easier for your morning routine,
just get dressed, put some foundation on,
brush your teeth and do your hair.

Around 7h30 it's time to get the girls ready.
Big girls wear panties, no more diapers
so it's really important they go to the toilet first!
Otherwise accidents can happen and
we're definitely too late for school 😲

Our get-ready steps on school days are:
1. Go to the toilet ✔
2. Brush teeth ✔
3. Wash face, hands & bottom ✔

They get dressed by themselves but it takes them so long
that I usually try to help them with the
necessary drama and crying along.

Things I hear every morning
over and over again while getting ready:
* I can't do that
(while they don't want any help)
* Is it right like that?
(while they put it on backwards)
* Are we going to school?
* Are you going to pick us up from school?

School bags ready (made them the night before)
Sandwich in the hand and off to school!

We live around 11 km's from school,
so we are supposed to get their in 15 minutes.
Unless traffic jam!
Last couple of weeks it has been a real disaster.

School start at 8h20 and we normally arrive around 8h16,
just perfect!
They don't like to hang around the play yard in the morning, so I try to get them on school just before the bell rings.
This week it's already the third time we came too late
because of traffic jam everywhere. OMG I feel so ashamed!

I always think their teacher will not like me for that,
but hell yeah at least our outfits are on point!

So are there any moms with good tips?
Should I get up more early?
What is your morning routine?
Am I the only one who get's the kids late at school?

Ik zou toch vroeger opstaan 🙈 ik heb 2 kindjes, een zoontje van 4 en een dochter van 5. Onze wekker staat om half 7.. de outfits leg ik 's avonds klaar, zowel voor mezelf als de kindjes. De boekentasjes staan ook al grotendeels 's avonds klaar, enkel de boterhammen moeten 's morgens gedaan worden. Die van mij ontbijten ook voor tv terwijl ik mij klaarmaak.. ik neem ook ongeveer een halfuurtje voor mezelf en om 7u15 begin ik hen aan te kleden, ten laatste, zodat zij zich ook niet opgejaagd voelen.. en oh ja, ze gaan hier 's avonds in bad, 's morgens enkel wat opfrissen en tandjes poetsen. Om kwart voor 8 is iedereen klaar bij ons en dan is het nog even tv kijken of spelen. We vertrekken om 8u, de bel gaat om 8u30. We hebben de luxe dat we vlakbij de school wonen, maar ik zet ze toch wat vroeger af. Ze haatten het vroeger ook, maar ik merk nu dat het hen goed doet al een beetje te wennen aan het schoolgevoel voor de bel gaat. Ze spelen nu mooi met klasgenootjes die er ook al zijn.. anders is het allemaal zo stressy en is voor niemand leuk 😞 veel succes!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHey Tina,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIk ken dit helemaal.
Jonas zei 2 weken geleden tegen mij van kijk als Lotte nog 1 keer te laat komt ze ik u valiezen klaar.
Nu gaat het al wat beter maar in de kleuterklas was het vaak een ramp. Hier start school maar om 8.45 wat vrij laat is. Maar ze zou nog om 10 uur mogen beginnen. Toch slaagt Lotte er vaak in te laat te komen. Ik kan heel slecht uit mijn bed 's morgens. Het is wel altijd iets mama de kousen zitten niet goed, die broek is niet goed, ik wil geen broek kousen aandoen ( gans de winter, eergisteren was het warm komt ze met broekkousen naar beneden) traag eten. Of naar tv zitten kijken en niet verder eten. Volgend jaar gaat ze naar een nieuwe school en de bel gaat om 8.20 en we moeten 8 km rijden, buiten dat het nu om de hoek is. Dit zal al een uitdaging zijn. Van vroeger naar bed te gaan en vroeger op te staan. Ik hoor het van veel ouders vaak, die zich moeten haasten om de kinderen klaar te krijgen. Je staat klaar om te vertrekken en dan moeten ze nog naar de wc. Zou zeggen leg de kleren van de dag daarvoor al klaar en sta 10 min vroeger op. Als Lotte jonger was had ik vaak ze was aangekleed, ik was even iets anders aan het doen en allemaal haar kleren weer uitgedaan. Vaak gedreigd van als je u kleren niet aandoet zet ik u zo in de auto en ga je maar zo naar school. Ik heb er maar 1 met 2 zal het nog een groter gevecht zijn. Veel succes
