My boys loved Dinosarus when they were little!
In fact, this picture reminds me of my boys in so many ways,
especially when they were supposed to be getting ready.
I would send them into the bathroom and the games would begin.
The same thing happened . . .
EVERY TIME!
They would goof off, wrestle, and tackle each other
even amist my constant reminding.
"Brush your teeth, comb your hair, stop touching him,
let go of your brother RIGHT NOW, get ready . . . pleeeaase!"
I felt like an auctioneer!
I finally found something that worked for the boys and for me.
SATURDAY NIGHT AT
THE DINOSAUR STOMP
was a fun upbeat song.
The boys LOVED IT!
I noticed that the song lasted about as long as it would take for
my boys to do everything in their GET READY BOXES.
The song became our
"Get Ready Song"
We finally had a solution
that worked and it was FUN too!
When it was time for the boys to wake up for school
I would just turn on the music and wait for them
to race to the bathroom to get ready.
Mornings in my house became
a lot less stressful and tons more fun.
We were actually on time . . . at least 85% of the time!
(Being completely prompt is still a work in progress.)
There are a lot of songs out there that have a good beat.
Find one that gets everybody up and going
and give it a try!
