Spring break is a curse for parents!

I just LOVE my Harmon. He is my awesome boy!!!! He is so sweet and so good and so loving. He is so "duh... winning!" (see older posts for references)

Nevertheless after 2 days of spring break I'm at my wits end (and my nanny will probably be asking me for a raise). It is hard for him b/c he loves his pre-k so much and it makes him so happy. Now he is just not that happy b/c he misses his friends, teachers, etc. None of this is his fault.


So why is it hard? Well lets put it this way he is just grumpy. He picks on the twins, follows me, has taken to climbing the bar top again, etc. I would put him in time out each time but he would spend the whole time in time out. When I needed to meet Chris for work stuff on Monday he wouldn't get out of the car. He just was sick of the house. So Chris and I let him help us. At one meeting he was listening to YouTube videos while we were trying to talk to someone. Today Miriam our nanny took him to the park after we finished with the twins physical therapy. I left when they came back and after only being gone an hour he was running amok again :p There is so much I'm always doing and I can't get any of it done... he stalks me!!!

He got approved for a special Summer program that will only be 2x a week. So we need to be creative for the Summer. Maybe there is a joy school or something he could join the days he doesn't do his Summer pre-k. We just have to survive till Thursday. We are going somewhere on vacation with the kids on Thursday... Please help us all make it till Thursday!!!!
