Getting Ready to teach on the first day

Up by six and dressed by 6:05.  Upstairs cleaned up and vacumned. Wash rebooted. Kitchen is ready (I made a soup yesterday for dinner tonight).  

Go into studio and notice the pianos are set for piano lessons but not a toddler class.  Uh oh! Transform studio.

First step is to remove any "attractive nuisances" such as space under pianos.  This gate works well.

Next vacuum,  I do this every morning before class.

We need to hydrate at least one hour before class.  I also keep a water bottle in the room.

Oh, No! the village has sent out a large truck that is going to clean out the street drain with a big noisy vacuum.  Just as class is starting.  How can I compete for a toddler's attention with that amazing truck.  My DH goes out and asks them nicely to come back later, which they do!

Then I set up the waiting room.  Almost time!

Now I set up waiting room with place for shoes.

Next, set up waiting area with a pile of toddler friendly books.

Mark the bathroom with identifiable sign.

Now look outside.  Is my outdoor space inviting?

Looks good.  Grass is cut and door area is cleaned up.

Read to go! Toddlers are coming....  All I need now is a

Large Drum.
