I agree that outside play time makes for an awesome nap time . We go outside from 11-12 , and then we go outside from 4- home time !! I love having everyone ready to go !!!! The advantage is mine will nap until 3 and then by the time snack and diapers are done it's outside time !! So my playroom is spotless for the next day !!! ( I scrub while they eat lunch )
I understand your comment on the parents !! Not taking off shoes !!! Thankfully my dayhome has a separate entrance , so I undress on the cement stairs ( boots anyway) and our coat room is the first thing as you enter .
I feel for you !! A lot of added stress trying to keep everything looking spotless !!!
