Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?

I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

I have always done a lot of my work in the morning before the kids get up or at night after they are in bed. Including returning work-related e-mails that come in after about 3 pm. Was up after midnight one night this week explaining to an undergrad how to enroll in a graduate course. That was unusual but it happens.

My kids loved our biking/jogging stroller made by Schwinn that we used on bike trails.

Her son is pretty young for grade, too. I can see him taking some time to adjust, particularly since he isn't used to a full schedule of activities.

My older son has a May birthday, too, and I was really glad that half day kindergarten was available for him. He didn't have any trouble in first grade, though.

A lot of the kids in ds' class are a young 5, not an almost 6.

Are there benefits to being one who tires more easily? Can't think of any.

Most of the museums around here (mid size midwestern town) also have 1-2 late nights each week that they are open and our zoo is open late

Do you have a proven way to turn a child who tires easily into one who doesn't?

Even though the kids swim pretty much every day in our pool (in our boring backyard) during the summer, we don't get our money out of a pool if we had to put one in, but the year to year up keep is certainly worth the investment,
