This is officially day 1 of our “quarantine”- only we’re not completely quarantined, but staying at home and out of the public until further notice.
The kids have been sent home from school for 14 days to try to contain this Covid-19 virus from spreading. Daycares remain open….but I anticipate them and others will soon close their doors also. Unfortunately, it’s not now and I fear it’s just helping with the spread. Travel bans have been implemented, gyms are starting to close their doors also, even the Casino has locked their doors. Alberta announced yesterday that they are closing schools and daycares for the next 6 weeks. Well played.
Our three children are home this week. Ages 8, almost 7, and 8 months. I have created a daily schedule to try to keep some semblance of a routine; otherwise we will be eating all of our household snacks come 10am, and I’ll have sent all of the kids to their rooms for some quiet time by 10:30!
We did survive day 1. The routine and structure was the game saver I think. The kids got some outdoor play time and Mercer was able to stay on schedule.
