I am in the same boat - all my new ones are between 12-24 months and it is EXHAUSTING me!! I think I changed more diapers today than I did all summer with my old group.

I have a lot of toys out too and find they tend to just dump things and move on. We are trying to learn to clean up but its hard at this age. I have those fabric bins with toys and really don't want to rearrange my room so I was thinking about getting more plastic bins with lids and storing more of those toys (figures, blocks, etc.) in the basement for a while and maybe buying a few more larger toys that will still fit in those cubbies so they don't look empty but aren't "dumping" toys.

And for curriculums I really thought they'd be too young - I have one 2.5 year old but all the rest are under 1.5. Is Carol's good for 1 1/2 year olds??? I just feel like I won't even be able to corral them all at the table long enough to do anything right now.
