Every day around four in the afternoon, I leave my house to go pick up Ben and Blake from their daycare center. Every afternoon a two-to-three minute task takes at least ten minutes.
After I get my hug from Blake and another little hug from Ben, I take them out to the car to get them buckled into their car seats. At least that's always the initial plan.
Once I gather Ben and Blake near me, I have to take them to the potty because Ben says he has to go to the bathroom. Blake will go with Ben too. I find myself getting in a hurry for them to go to the bathroom and finish. I need to learn to take a step back and let them go through that process.
I find myself rushing them out the door after they go, but I need to let them wash their hands and dry them off afterward. Those are good practices after going to the bathroom.
After they finish up in the bathroom, I have to chase them down inside the daycare center a few times before I put them inside the car. I shouldn't have to tell them more than once to come with me and stop running around inside the building.
I'm seriously considering taking away privileges like Nintendo time, table time, and dessert if they are continually rambunctious at pick up time.
Hopefully they'll behave better soon.
