Notes not syncing to iCloud from MBP

My devices:

iPhone 8+ - iOS 11.2.6

iPad Air 2 - iOS 11.2.6

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) - High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D102)

Suddenly, I got a problem with syncing Notes app:

- Notes made on iPhone and iPad got update to the iCloud: Shown on icloud.com and all devices (including my MBP);

- Notes made on MBP did not update to the iCloud: Shown only on MBP!

The last note that was loaded into the iCloud from the MBP is dated February, 28, 2018:

Going to System Preferences - iCloud (on MBP), then press 'sign out' (from iCloud) and 'sign in' again - it is not really, because all notes will be deleted without synch.

Does somebody know a safe way to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

I found the following solution (actions on the Mac desktop):

Notes -> Preferences -> checking the box "Enable the On My Mac account". And in the left panel (folder navigator) you see:
Copy un-synced notes to this new folder "On My Mac -> Notes";
Go to System Preferences -> iCloud -> stop Notes syncing by unchecking the box. After 2-3 minutes checking the box syncing back;
In the folder navigator copy all notes from folder "On My Mac -> Notes" to iCloud folders (and uncheck the box "Enable the On My Mac account" if needed);
Wait a minute and all the notes will appear in the iCloud 🙂
