SaveThree focus notes
Nap edges shifting. If the afternoon nap is shrinking, protect quiet time anyway — books on the couch, dim room, no need to win the clock. Same wind-down order you already use.
Shoes-on, out-the-door. Park one pair that actually stays on by the door. Extra socks in the stroller basket. Errands get shorter when the hunt ends.
Calm plate energy. One safe food they accept + one maybe food nearby. Skip the speech. The Picky Dinner Plate map is there when supper turns into a meeting.
