Shoot me.
For many months Silas (30 months) would be great - bath, milk on the couch, teeth brushing, bed at 8:15, bam. We wouldn't hear from him again until 7 am. Now on vacation it's been delayed a bit and he's still awake at 9:30, 10...Tonight I was making breakfast muffins at 10 and while I was doing the dishes he appeared in the kitchen with Blue (his blanket). "Me help you?" He asked with a small smile. You can help me tomorrow but tonight get your tushy back in bed.
I will be very happy once vacation is over and we'll be back to his regular schedule. It doesn't help that Daddy thinks staying up until 9:30 is ok.
How do you get kids back on schedule after vacation?
Yup. We have the same problem on vacation. After we travel, we institute "detox days" - back to healthyish foods, strictish schedules, normalish bedtimes and no(ish) videos. We also prepare for a couple extra tantrums, but it's still worth it.
ReplyDeleteOh and the extra tired tired tantrums (and the "I'm confused why today's different from yesterday" tantrums). Always fun. I do have to say that now that he's back at school during the day and taking his shorter naps he's tired and sleeping earlier. Such creatures of habit!
