Since Lincoln's become mobile the house has gone from super clean to partially clean. Was I the only mom out there that felt the need to nest and wasn't pregnant? Anyone? I now only dust here and there (no more weekly base board cleanings--the HORRORS) and, my clean laundry piles up until evening. Ugh. I can't say I'm totally happy with this arrangement BUT I'm learning to cope. I mean. I feel like I should clean everyday because I'm home everyday. And because sometimes I don't play with Lincoln...but I would rather sit on my bottom and watch him play/pin (don't' judge) than clean.
It's hard running after a toddler (oh, yeah, L is officially a toddler?!!). Okay, not exactly running or walking, but still...going after a crawling toddler is still hard. And our schedule is a busy one. Want a peak? Here it is:
7:30 or 8:00: wake up (sometimes he will be crazy and wake up at 6 but I won't pick him up until 7:30)
8:15: Milk (and water) and breakfast at high chair (he watches me bake/make breakfast)
9:00 (yes, 9:00--Lincoln is a slow, slow eater) play with toys crawl around
9:45: Lincoln plays in his crib while I get ready for our walk/run
10:00-11-ish: Walk or run (somedays this isn't long, some days it is.)
11-ish: Lincoln plays in crib while I take a quick shower and get dressed
11:30-ish: Lincoln has a sippy cup of milk and a CUP of water as well as well as a few pieces of fruit
11:45: Play time!
12:30: Lunch with Daddy
1:15 Read books and sometimes I'll make him a sippy cup of milk (this depends on how much he had for lunch)
1:30 or 2:00: Goes down for a nap until 4:00/4:30-ish
4:00 or 4:30: wake up and play!
5:00: Sippy cup with milk and a small snack
6:30: Dinner time
7:10: Bath time
7:20: Lotion and PJ time
7:25: Read Books
7:35-ish: Bed/prayers
**Please note that our schedule is very much baby led. Somedays this schedule works out perfectly, other days...times are adjusted for his needs. For us, it's about what is best for Lincoln. I've learned (a long/hard process) how to ready his cues. Thankfully, one of the two signs that he knows is sleep so I can catch that one (and milk) very well. Also, Lincoln will only drink 3-4 ounces of milk at a time in case you wonder why he drinks so much milk.
I just get tired looking at our schedule. Ahhhh. Over & out loves. Until tomorrow. Rog? (Sorry for the pilot talk. When I talk to Kimvy I end up talking that way).
Similar to our schedule. Well...weekend schedule since she's at TOG weekdays. And she takes two naps at home still (usually). We are just now transitioning to a sippy cup, and she doesn't drink that much milk from it, probably about 3 oz at a time. Good to see she's not alone. And you are def not alone in the lazy cleaning department. I used to be kind of nazi about cleaning on Sunday. Now, as long as the house is picked up, I can live with dust and such for a couple weeks :o)
