Mom 2 Four

We are moving to a tiny rental at the end of the month. I have 4 children, 2 girls age 9 and 7, and 2 boys age 4 and 1. The house is 3 bedrooms. The other rooms are big, but one of the bedrooms is 9.3x9.5. I was going to have the 2 smallest boys share this room. The 1 year old is still in a crib. Any decorating/arrangement suggestions??? Any help is appreciated.

Think vertical, bunk beds save floor space.

How to motivate kids to get up in the morning?

Any suggestions on how to motivate our kids to get up and get ready in the morning? Tired of having to constantly badger them.

They are 2nd grade (8yo), and kindergarten (6yo next month), both boys. They share a bedroom. They have a big clock on the wall in their room, and the older boy understands well how to tell time. They're usually awake on their own in plenty of time, but they'd spend hours giggling, talking, and goofing off if we weren't coming in every couple minutes and telling them to get ready.

Any suggestions?

Answer
If I were you, I would tell them that they need to leave the house at X time (for us, it's 8:29 in order to catch the bus). In my Most Serious Mom voice, I would tell them (focusing especially on the 8-year-old) that, no matter what, we're leaving the house at 8:29. It doesn't matter if they're still wearing their pajamas or if they've eaten their breakfasts. At 8:29, we leave.

It's a risky approach that hinges on your ability to sell your seriousness. If they sense weakness, they'll keep on pushing;) Look done-in and adamant. If you can sell it (and you think they'll buy it) it works. They're old enough to be embarrassed by the idea of showing up to school in pajamas.

Just an idea that worked for me. I don't think I could have actually sent mine off without proper clothes and breakfast. But apparently mine was convinced I was serious.

Good luck, whatever you try. It's heartwarming to hear of two brothers having such a great time together.
