Covid Schedule - Day Three

Day two went really well and the schedule continues to be really useful for us generally. Since the weather was so great yesterday, the kids stayed out at the Arboretum for longer than we had planned. This, of course, is totally fine. If the kids are really immersed in something, I always prefer deep play over moving on to the next thing.

Nia is focused during puzzle time. Probably need to get her some other puzzles.

Nouri doing her share at morning meeting.

Na'eel had his first (we think) and second and fifth and seventh pakora tonight!

My evening devolved into reading about virus implications and then working so I got basically nothing done and felt a bit  anxious going to bed. My Whoop says that I had three disturbances last night but I swear I was up the whole night tossing and turning. I'll share some resources that I'm going to try to follow soon.

I’m going to try to do one maintenance thing each night like nails, fix hair, face mask because I’m the type of person to let it all go when I don’t have to go into work. (Still have not done this even one night…tonight I will try!!)
