1. I have 2 - 18month olds, 1 13 month old and a 3 year old. My day is mostly free play. But I consider it structured. Story time, snacks, lunch and nap are done at the same time every day. We go outside at the same time every day and if/when we do crafts/colouring/playdoh etc. we do it in the same timeslot every day.

2. I do not travel with my kids in the car. I only take them where we can walk. If I have only a few we will walk to the park. If i have more then a few it's the backyard and the neighbourhood.

4. I have this great grocery store/lemonade stand (there are signs for both) counter/store thing. it's great. They put the kitchen beside and pretend they're in a restaurant. Or, they just dump the bins and play with the food.

5. All of my older ones have always transitioned well. Mostly because they've come from a daycare environment before. I had one who came to me when he was almost 3, had a nanny all his life so he was never in daycare. He spent the first day completely quiet and hiding in the corner. He spent the second day the same and by the third he was awsome! Transitioned really quick.
