7:15am: I hear J start quietly chatting around in his crib. I look at the clock and think it’s been a great night! No one woke me up crying, both boys went to sleep sweetly and my husband didn’t wake them up while he got ready at left for work an hour ago. It will be a great Saturday! I take advantage of the “me time” between when they start to wake up and are ACTUALLY awake. I do basic house chores for about 30 minutes and listen as their conversations get louder and louder as if to say “OK Mama, we are waiting now!”
7:45am: I go into their room and change their diapers. We do a little snuggling and read a couple
books.
7:55am: I put out our Melissa and Doug refrigerator magnet sets that we got
for them to play with while I scramble eggs and make them a smoothie. The magnets are a hit but the dog bowls are
EVEN BETTER. They toss them around and
hit each other in the head with them.
8:10am: I get the boys in their high chairs and the eat
breakfast - eggs, smoothie and chicken sausage. I have a few nibbles of their
eggs and make a cup of coffee (priorities!!).
B is a little smoothie uneasy at this point he would rather just eat his food... J on the other hand is a smoothie monster! Good thing too! I have been making him spinach smoothies for a couple of days during the week for about two weeks now because he was recently diagnosed with a mild anemia. He hates the texture of meat and dark leafy greens but this has been an amazing solution!
8:30am: Clean off high chairs, boys play with magnets and
bowls more while I clean up the kitchen mess.
8:50am: Take boys into their room to get dressed and another
diaper change.
9:15am: Get myself dressed (barely), room picked up and bag packed
for park and errands.
9:30am: We all brush our teeth and then leave the house. Brushing teeth is adorable yet frustrating all at the same time. First, they get into it, I brush their teeth a little and then they do. Quickly, they get distracted and try climbing on the toliet, into the tub and pulling out all of the toilet paper. Yes husband, it is challenging to get anything done with them around especially if it is in a typical "off limits" room. If I don't get dolled up before they are out of the cribs, it PROBABLY won't happen :)
9:40am: STARBUCKS!
9:50am: New Park – huge mistake. Play structure just felt wayyy too big
compared to the park we usually visit.
They were way to confident walking on up and trying to slide down these
HUGE slides. I will stick to our smaller
(lower to the ground) park until they get a little bigger unless I have someone to help me!
10:30am: Loaded up and snacks (raspberries, Annie’s cheddar
bunnies and raisins) in the car with milk.
I stopped to get gas and do a quick drive thru car wash (mine was so
dirty!).
11am: Home and played in front yard. Tried to run away to a tractor doing some
road construction on our road. Ayi! I love how much they notice the world around them now. B is OBSESSED with cars/trucks/motorcycles/tractors. It's amazing to see how aware they are!
11:30am: We play inside for a bit while mom preps lunch. More magnets, dogs and overall chaos in climbing, etc.
Noon: Lunch – Havarti and roast beef sandwich, raspberries,
a little left over smoothie, milk and sweet potatoes.
12:30pm: Clean off high chairs and a do a few more kitchen
chores.
12:45pm: Off into their room to wind down before nap. They love to roll around in their blankets and act silly! We change diapers, read a few books and sing
one song. I lay J down at 1pm and he
sweetly goes right to sleep. I lay B
down and… he is a maniac.. He finally
falls asleep around 1:15pm. I stay in the room until B is calm and "shuuuush" for him.
I quietly leave
the room and he immediately has a panic attack. I re-enter the room,
calm him with shhhing and back patting and repeat about 10 times. Going through a
huge separation anxiety phase where he really really wants to be held.
The funny thing is how much my little boys have role reversed this
month. Last month, J was tough to go to bed and now he is doing it like
a Rockstar. I think it's obvious how much developmental milestones
change their abilities and view of the world around them.
2:30pm: Boys up.
Shorter nap than usual (or preferable) so they are very fussy upon wake
up. Crying like crazy, quick diaper
changes and playing with the dog to help cheer them up.
3:00pm: snacks – blueberries, milk and cheese at their
picnic table in the kitchen. They LOVE to eat at their little table like big boys. They also love to go to the refrigerator and say "snack" when they are ready, they open up their drawer and at least get to have a portion of the snack decision making.
3:30pm: Mom’s friends come over to visit so there is LOTS of
showing off and playing for about one hour. (Totally spaced on pictures here as 1. I was getting tired and 2. I was enjoying our company.
4:30pm: Outside time in backyard, slide, swing and playing
with dogs. They LOVE to be outside. I am so happy Spring in Texas is finally here for us to enjoy the weather.
5:45pm: Dinner – Rice with mixed veggies, grilled chicken
and apples. J is so over it at this
point. His short nap has caught up to
him and he hardly eats anything. B eats
like a super eater – as usual.
6:15pm: Clean high chairs and pick up kitchen.
6:30pm: Bath – short and sweet as B has eczema and cannot be
in longer than 10 mins.
6:40pm: Put on diapers, cover the boys in lotion and put on their jammies. Play for a bit to get out all of the
energy. LOTS of daredevil activities and
climbing.
7:15pm: Start bedtime routine. Turn down lights and use lamp, change
diapers, read 3 books. We sing one song
and I lay them down in the crib. They
were both so exhausted after a long day and short nap that they fell asleep
rather quickly in their beds by 7:40pm.
7:45pm: I eat a quick dinner of leftovers and then clean up time for the house – mom gets as much housework
as she wants/cares to for one hour.
9:15pm: Shower and then BED.
Hi my girls are the same age. They go to bed at 8 but wake up(crying) at 5:30! Any tips on getting them to sleep later?
ReplyDeleteEvery night we use quiet white noise and a cool mist humidifier. When my start to work earlier and earlier I will start putting them to bed earlier (sounds crazy but it works!!) and I recently put in some darker curtains so that they lights would be blocked out as the sun is coming up.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps!
