[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids as well and I've been doing the morning routine by myself for years, since my DH also leaves for work early in the morning. I think you're doing the right things. As much prep as you can do the night before is helpful. Getting up early and getting yourself ready is also helpful (though I know that's easier said than done...). I would also just take it one day at a time. Some days the baby will sleep late and it will be a breeze; some days will be a disaster. You'll figure out what works and get into a groove. I would do what you can to encourage your oldest to be as independent as possible--maybe get a little white board with a checklist that he can check off before coming down for breakfast? I have an 8 year old that sounds very similar in terms of being easily distracted and needing reminders so I get it, but I would really work on this, since having at least one kid that needs minimal supervision will make your routine much easier.[/quote]
