Toby has not brushed his teeth since Monday evening. He did get them cleaned at the dentist yesterday though! He has also not eaten any breakfast since we started DNSN - which would normally not be much of a big deal, but he is under doctor's orders to eat breakfast every day as well as a bedtime snack for being underweight/slow-growing, and he knows this very well. He seems to really need parental pushing to eat in the morning, he says he doesn't ever really feel hungry. Since it is a medical concern, we have decided that he can not determine this issue himself. We will see at the end of the week how much weight he has lost. This morning, Hazel started saying, "I don't want to go to school..." I was already prepared for her to miss the bus, since she never brought her backpack in from the car yesterday and therefore did not make any lunch. When it was time for the bus, Toby noticed the clock and jumped up and left. Hazel asked if I could drive her since she hadn't brushed her teeth yet (nor had any underwear on under her dress, nor had made lunch). I said I could if it was before I had to leave for my class (in an hour and a half). I was gearing myself up for if she decided not to go - but after her brother left, she seemed to get on the ball and did all her stuff. She was only about 15 minutes late. Her toys are spreading throughout the house more and more. She took out her ballet shoes to practice her dance routine, and to get them she had to pull her leotard and tights out of the bag as well. They have been on the floor under the diningroom table for 2 days. She needs to wear them for her recital so I hope they don't get too visibly stained from anything that drops down there. I lured Hazel into the bath tonight by getting in and inviting her to join me. She only allowed soap on her feet for a foot massage though, nowhere else. Toby is not only happy to avoid a bath, he has been wearing the same clothes nonstop for the past 3 days. I am also noticing how much of a conscious effort I have to make to NOT clean up after everyone. I usually just scoop things up as I move throughout the house in my own acitvities. I have had to put things back a couple of times, after deciding I shouldn't be cleaning it up for someone else. So we're about half-way through our week and the house is becoming hard for me to bear - I am running out of places to hide for serenity, places that are not a disaster. I am starting to brainstorm creative group cleanup strategies for Saturday!
