Can you shake up the routine a little? You mentioned you have a nice schedule in place, but maybe being outside more with a different routine or set up inside might change attitudes a bit?

I found in summer we did a lot of outdoor play first thing. Parents dropped off in the yard, we had snack outside and ran through sprinklers after lunch. Nap ended up happening much later in the day and they got back outside to play until pick up. I know some regions dont allow for so much time outside in the summer with extreme sun and heat!

When we were inside, I typically kept lights off and fans running for some white noise. Lots of books and floor play rather than structured crafts and activities.

Hope these 3 weeks go quickly!
