    this was me 2 years ago. And again in the next week.

    I would do as much as I could the night before. (lunches, shower, school clothes laid out, breakfast stuff out ready.)
    Also if I was late taking the kids to school- I was late. It wasn't a big deal, we had made it! (reception and grade1)
    It doesn't last forever. so be easy on yourself.

    Well you know the age differences I have, and even though there was only a 3year gap, I felt like that new chick all over again. You forget how small, and helpless they are. But it really is like riding a bike.

    They have a language between just the two of you. It won't take long.

    My little miss wasn't one for routine so I just went with it. And, being ready for that it wasn't such a shock. The older two had a good routine and she just goes with what needs doing. She spent a lot of time in the sling. My kids ate easy food a lot. They got to the end of the undie drawer a lot more often. But we managed.
