As long as she had her headset like granny's and her paper and crayons so she could work at her little desk, she was usually very good. When she was about 3 she loved having her own keyboard (an old electric typewriter,without the cord and such) so she could work at her puter. Wish I would have known about your To Do List at that time. I now watch my 2nd grandaughter who just happens to be 2. So I will trying the list thing out with her.

The solitude and getting in the groove is the hardest part for me, too. That's why the timer is my bestest friend. :) Thanks for commenting! I agree, Lorraine.
