[quote=Anonymous]My kids wake early so this may or may not be helpful if your kids sleep until 7 or so, but I am the one that leaves early as well and one thing I do is try to make sure the kids are dressed before we go downstairs and that seems to help a lot from husband's reports. Dressed with shoes on. Bib for breakfast if needed. A little tough with 6 month old but maybe choose less messy things for breakfast (and accept clothes might not be perfect leaving). Then I head out about 7:15 and my husband is getting them breakfast etc then they play a little while he pulls things together and there is no wrangling for shoes or pants while trying to get them out the door when it is time to make that transition.

When your 3 year old is older (mine are now 3 and 6), we made a chart with pictures of my older one doing her morning tasks (getting dressed, bed, packing backpack etc), and she does all those things before breakfast and playing. Again makes the transition out of the house way better and the solid routine of that being consistent every morning REALLY helps so that now she is much more independent. [/quote]
