Anyone bought masks for a 2 year old they liked? Can't find any that small. DD showed interest yesterday and let us put and too big one on her but in effectiveness it was obviously useless. I'd love to take her out and about on errands more often since she doesn't go anywhere anymore. Miami Fit Wear has toddler sizes and I got DD2 one. She's 2.5 and it fits pretty well. They're made to shrink when washed on hot and that helped too. She also has a Joah Love adjustable one that fits well. The Crayola ones we bought for DD1 also adjust and fit DD2, plus they have a nose piece so they can really customized the most. I was also going to suggest the Crayola ones. The Target Cat and Jack don’t stay on DD2’s face (she is also 2.5). The Crayola ones are smaller and adjustable and seem to work. At least, I hope so, because I am taking her on a plane on Saturday by myself and need her to act right with her mask.

School starts on Thursday for us, & I still don't know the schedule, other than that the zoom call starts at 8:30, but haven't been given an end time. I'm nervous & hoping DD won't be on zoom the whole school day.

Right, I’ll just let her watch some extra YouTube kids videos on the ABCs. Yes! I work with some preschoolers and am most worried about how I am going to teach those kiddos remotely. It’s not developmentally appropriate. I’d rather provide them with puzzles and toys, and tell them to watch Sesame Street! My DS is in a special day preschool class through the district to help with speech, & I have felt very overwhelmed thinking about what them doing this virtually will look like. He can't sit still for very long.

I just bought paint to redo a desk for A1, a new Chromebook, and back to school sweatpants and sneakers. As ready as we’re gonna be for this, I guess. Next weekend I’ll be sanding and painting a desk if anyone needs me.

Our school is due to start in person in 3 weeks. I’m torn between hoping they decide to change to distance learning due to rising numbers and just wanting things to be semi-normal again. The anxiety and uncertainty around all this is no fun.

I put in an email to the teacher, so I'm hoping to hear back Monday. This all feels so weird with the information coming out so last minute. I also feel for the teachers, who I'm sure feel the same way. It makes planning so difficult, but I know we're all in the same boat.

I feel so bad for teachers because they're going to be the ones that hear all the complaints from parents about choices they likely didn't get to make. Also, we don't know the teachers yet. Zoom meet the teacher is Wednesday evening.

We at least found out the teacher on the 31st, & we got the start time of the zoom call this past Friday, but that's all so far. Our meet the teacher zoom call is Wednesday also, so I'm looking forward to getting more info there. I know the teachers here only started back on Thursday, so I know it's a lot for them to organize in just one week. My H actually teaches at the same school my DD attends, except she's in elementary & he teaches in middle school.

School starts next Monday. I pick up DS's laptop on Wednesday.
That's it. That's all the info I have.
I have no idea who will be teaching my kids or what their day to day schedules will look like.

Desks have definitely become the new pools and toilet paper.

We ordered a desk. But haven’t gotten a chair. We have extra dining chairs (our table can be 6 or 8 people) and I was maybe just going to put one of the extra chairs in her room with the desk...

I ended up going with a cheap dining chair and I think it’s a lot comfier than most of the lower priced desk chairs. Plus, I don’t need my kid swiveling all day long on a zoom call.

It's definitely challenging with everything being so last minute. Once this week is over & I know what to expect, I think I'll feel a lot better & be able to settle in.

Ok so we got modular craft drawers and cubes and a closet shelf and built a desk/vanity. She better take it to her adult home too. Ours and the inspiration pic. MH insisted we add the half cube cause he felt it was too low.

In the spring they were at the table. I'm getting desks cause they both will have live portions and not live portions so I wanted them in their own space. Also my BFF lives here and will just start cooking and stuff in the background. So I moved them from table.

We just put two saw horses and slab of laminate counter top on it and it worked great for us the last five months. Definitely not a permanent fixture though. I saw someone on FB post that she got a desk and chair at Big Lots, so might be worth looking there. They always have a big furniture area.

My DD asked for a vanity like 3 Christmases ago and we couldn't do it.
Covid crisis gives us all the time to do all the things. Lol.
