Our Day!

A few times in the past month or so, I have had people inquire about how Escher's day goes. So, be curious no more! Here is an average day in the world of little dude and me!

7am- wake time! Escher usually wakes up very happy, and he talks to Floppy in his crib while I rub the sleep out of my eyes :-). He gets a bottle and has floor play time while I make coffee and clean up the kitchen. Sometimes we watch Curious George (I LOVE him!).

9am- Its naptime! I do schoolwork while he sleeps, or clean.

11am- And he's up! He has another bottle, then if its nice, we go for a walk. If we have errands to run, this is usually the time of day we get out. Then its lunch time! After we eat, Escher usually watches a little bit (ok, or all) of a Baby Einstein dvd while I clean up.

1:30 or so- down for another nap

3ish: awake, another bottle, and more playtime! Escher really loves just rolling around on the blanket with all of his toys. His favorites seem to be the bucket of plastic food, balls, trucks, and his lion mirror so he can look at the handsome boy in it!

He has pretty much dropped his late afternoon catnap. Even if I try to get him to take it, he just rolls around in his crib. So between the time when he gets up at 3, he eats, plays, waits for Matt to come home, and he "helps" me cook dinner. He likes to play with measuring cups, spoons, spatulas, tupperware, etc. Depending on what we are eating for dinner, and when its ready, and how tired Escher is depends on whether or not he "eats" with us or not. He is starting to eat more grown up food, and we really love having him sit at the table with us, but some nights we see the eye rubbing a little earlier than usual, so then its a bath around 630 or so, then a bottle and bed. We give him a "dreamfeed" around 930-10pm, which helps him sleep through the night. Then its up the next morning for more PLAYING!

So thats it! We have a pretty consistent schedule. For awhile I was really anxious about deviating from it, but with all the craziness going on with the move, I couldn't control every minute of his day. Thankfully he adapted very well, and I don't worry so much if a day doesn't go exactly according to plan. On Wednesdays we go to Grace Bible Church where I help out in the nursery for the Women's Bible Study group. Escher likes to watch all the kids play! We really can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can play outside more!

Hope everyone has a great week!
