A case of the Mondays

[Momof4]

Every Monday the children are extra tired and some are cranky. My trick is that we have the same outing every single Monday, we go to our local library to play with their toys and attend their 1/2 hour story time. It's a 20 minute walk each way or a bus ride, but either way it's a full morning out. Then I feed them a big lunch and they sleep 2 1/2-3 hours which is more than they sleep the rest of the week, their usual 2 hours. It works great. The children look forward to coming to daycare on Monday and they know what will be happening.
