Every year around the holidays, my school donates toys and blankets and books, etc. to a charity. This year we've chosen cancer charities. Does anyone know any cancer organizations or charities in New York that accept toys and all this stuff? Thanks.

Hi there. My kids were a little older when we were on vacation with all 3 of our kids, but here are a few tips that will work at any age:
Have your older two bring a few of their favorite toys to play with, as they can get bored being cooped up. A couple of toys that are bath safe are also a plus.
Make sure if they have blankets or favorite stuffed animals, or pillows, that you bring them so they have a little of their comforts of home.
If you have a pack and play, bring it so you can have the youngest sleep in it, as it is usually safer than the portable cribs that hotels offer. Otherwise, make sure you request a portable crib.
Be sure to get a room with a refrigerator. If there isn't one, request one from the front desk, so you can put snacks, or juice/milk, etc in it for the kids. Find out if there is a continental breakfast available, and, if not, have something simple for them to eat until you go out to eat.
Find out if the room has a DVD player or VCR. Pack a few favorite movies for your kids.
Expect to have issues with them going to sleep. Being in a strange place can affect them. Make it out to be a fun experience to help with the stress.
As one of the other posters mentioned, Lysol or disinfectant might be a good idea. Housekeeping usually does a wipe down of everything, but it helps to know the room is clean enough to your standards.
Remind them that at night, there are other people trying to sleep. Remind them that it isn't a playground when walking through the halls (it's fun and new...this was a fun one to remind my kids LOL) and to respect other people's space and privacy. Let them push the buttons on the elevator if you are on an upper floor.
Good luck, and try to not stress too much. It's a bit of an adjustment, but they will do great! Hope this helps!
