5yo/f and 19 month old/m. They were both in Kindergarten or daycare prior to this because my wife and my work schedule. We decided today they'll be returning back full time May 4th. My wife is starting a new job last week of April and will be working more so we dont have much of a choice. As far as quarantine, my 19 month old doesn't really know the difference. My 5yo knows things are different and we've struggled to keep her stimulated during all this. The school has been sending home stuff for her to do and she has her own workbooks but it's not the same. I have no idea how this affects next school year because we were in the process of getting her ready for 1st grade.
They do a good job of playing together and entertaining each other so that's good. My youngest looks up to her and does exactly what she does, and she's careful with him and looks out for him, so we're lucky in that regard. Although she told him earlier tonight she was going to kick his ass. So that was a timeout.
A lot of caffeine during the days. We both work night shift so our nights off is basically do the best you can sleeping at night - which is tough to readjust to for us.
