it's been a while since we've done one of these but i enjoy looking back to see if our days are different or the same :)
5:30am- brandon's alarm goes off. he's working summer hours which means he works long days monday thru thursday and come home early on friday!
6am- madalyn wakes up to eat (she's been sleeping 7-8 hours!!!)
6:15- madalyn takes brandon's spot in bed and we both fall back to sleep
7:30 - 8:30- parker wakes up, I wake up and we head downstairs for breakfast. banana for parker, smoothie for me (and p) then oatmeal.
8:15ish- most mornings parker will watch an episode of curious george while i get madalyn, feed her, pump, eat my breakfast. he loves george!! i often hear him say, "oh no" and "george!" and laugh as he watches. i love that he is starting to understand the story lines.
9am- we are all up by this point and fed.
9:15- we move back up stairs to get dressed and get ready for the day.
10am- out of the house! we are off to the park, story hour, playing outside, or if we have the car running errands (with a stop to the park of course!) this is a great time of day...madalyn normally naps while we are out. it allows parker and i to have time together!
(our "pool" it's a big hit)
11:30 we head home for lunch (parker eats while i feed madalyn)
(i always pack a lunch...b/c he normally falls asleep if we've been out all morning!)
12:15- 1pm- get ready for naps (this is a tricky time...madalyn is normally awake and parker needs to go down for his nap. he is always very concerned for "baby sister". most of the time she lays on the bed while we read and get ready for naps...but occasionally she screams and cries and parker ends up being shuffled off to bed with one story instead of two :( )
1:15pm- madalyn and i hang out downstairs. i finally eat lunch while she coos and plays. i start working. she normally eats one more time and then snuggles in for a nap.
2 to 3:30pm- sooo quiet! i work while the kids nap
(i've been biking either in the morning before we head out for the day or right after naps...he doesn't always approve)
3:30pm parker gets up from his nap
4:00- snacks, playing outside, playing trucks or facetiming.
(waiting for dad...with a snack!)
4:30pm- dad's home! more playing! normally parker asks to ride his bike/scooter at this point. helps with watering.
5:15- dinner for parker (he normally has leftovers from the day before) brandon preps our dinner while i sit with parker or care for madalyn
(tomato from garden! hooray!)
6:00pm- more playtime...lots of running and screaming. chase is parker's favorite game with dad. madalyn loves to sit in her bounce and watch.
7pm- bathtime! and stories! (madalyn normally hangs out...but every once and while she decides to cry...then brandon does all of the bedtime routine with p)
7:20- we all gather on the bed and i read two stories. then hugs and kisses (parker is so good about saying good night to madalyn) then brandon swaddles parker and off to bed.
7:45- brandon and i eat. madalyn snoozes for a bit
we watch a show through amazon prime...its addicting to be able to watch episode after episode of the same show!
9:30pm madalyn gets a bottle from brandon
10pm- we all head up to bed!
10:10- sleep!
