We're three days in to our new arrangements and things are going pretty well. The kids are fine with the train trip and have taken books and DS's to play the last couple of days.
They are getting pretty tired though. Aden tried for a day off before he even got out of bed today, and then Mav told me he fell asleep for 5 minutes in class yesterday.
I'm hoping that once their little body clocks get used to things they'll be able to manage a bit better. It's not like they've been staying up late or anything, but it does seem like a really long day for them. They leave the house at 6:30 am and don't get back till almost 4:30 pm. I guess that's only 10 hours, but when they're used to getting up at 7:30 am and heading off to school at 8am, then being home by 3:15pm, it's a bit of a difference.
Anyway, they're in pretty good spirits about being back with me full time, so that's compensating in a big way for them...and me.
