Do you have a capsule? Could put Bub in there if Bub needs to be put down while getting kids ready that way Bub can stay asleep when you transfer in and out of car. I never had capsule with Ddd but with DS have found it great!
I'll be facing this in the New Year - my DD starts prep and I'll have a newborn (well born around November this year). I have purchased a capsule b/c I am not keen in letting my DD walk into school by herself in Prep plus she won't know any other kids, so I'll be walking her in & figured the capsule would be easier than putting on a sling or setting up a pram.
We sort of have a bit of a routine going atm b/c I am still working two days per week (she goes to creche) plus we have three half days at kinder (2 days are morning start @ 9am). ATM to get us both ready for the kinda run we get up around 7.30am. I shower at night - always have since having DD as DH could look after DD whilst I was in the shower and drying off my hair. I find that this takes alot of stress out of the morning. I just have to wash my face & do basic make-up, do my hair and get dressed. I do DD lunch when she is eating breakfast & I tend to quickly eat just after. Her bag is packed and clothes laid out the night before. We are going to do a few 'dry' runs later this year so I know what the 'peak'
traffic is like (non-peak traffic is about a 10 min drive one way). I think I'll make DD lunch at night though or DH can as he does his at night & I intend on using my slow cooker (even though it will be spring/summer) to help the burden of dinners plus I thought about freezing some quick re-heat meals / making larger portions.
I'll be reading with interest for others hints/tips too
I am lucky that my DH is very hands on though & he gets home from around 3.30pm, so that will help me out and my mum lives around the corner from DD school, so she can pick up DD if I am stuck.
