I stick to a schedule...loosely. I want Greta to have a sense or order in her life but at the same time, I strive to be flexible. It's just recently that I feel like I could call our daily routine scheduled so here's an idea of what we do:
7:00 - Breakfast (in bed with mommy and a little more snoozing)
8:00 - Wake up. Greta lays very happily on our bed while I get up, get dressed and do my hair and makeup. I then change her diaper and get her dressed. After that I put her in her bouncy seat while I eat breakfast and do a little cleaning.
9:30 - Second Breakfast.
10:15 to 11:30 - Naptime.
11:30 - Elevenses
12:15 - Playtime, daddy comes up and mommy and daddy eat.
1:30 - Luncheon
1:45 to 3:00 - Naptime
3:30 - Tea
3:45 to 5 - Playtime
5:30 - Dinner
5:45 - Playtime with daddy while mommy makes dinner.
8:00 - Supper
8:30ish - Bedtime
If you're familiar with LOTR you'll recognize all the meal titles. :-)
All these times are approximate. Some days there is quite a bit of shift. For example, she sometimes skips the 2ish nap but takes one between 3 & 5. Also, she does eat every 2 hours but only for around 10 minutes. She's definitely a snacker. Lastly, if at anytime during the day she's agreeable to sitting in her swing or bouncy seat on her own I will clean then as well. Our house isn't nearly as clean as before she arrived but well, there are more important things to do now.
Speaking of which, she's up from her nap so I must say farewell.
FAMILY!
