I remember those times. I used to start getting ready to leave an hour before I needed to actually leave just so I could get the boys ready and out the door on time. I am so glad they are old enough to dress themselves now … only got to start 45 minutes early now. LOL

Are you trying to get ready at the same time as them? If so, you might want to make it a competition between you and Sierra as to who can get dressed faster. If she wins, she gets a prize. If she loses (which I don’t think will happen) tell her she has a chance to win tomorrow. As for Brooke, I remember my mom getting me dressed first before getting herself sorted, so you might want to dress her first before you and Sierra have your “competition”.
Pretty good advice from someone who doesn’t have kids, eh? I have to admit, the first idea was shamelessly stolen from my cousin Kiesha in England – she used this trick on her son and it worked everytime.

We have much more time but when we need to hurry it is hard. I was ragging on her all the time for a while and I finally let go. Now IF she gets ready without me nagging she can tv a few minutes of Kids CBC in the morning, which is a huge treat for her. Would a timer or stickers for rewards help? chelles last blog post..Christmas is Coming

I hear you! My three year old has melt down EVERY time we leave the house in the winter. The coat, boots, mitts and super tight carseat is not her cuppa tea. Couldn't watch the youtube clip, computer so slow. mommyknowss last blog post..Buried, Boring … that’s Me!
