Since I don't have a lot of news to report, nothing much new happened this week, I will answer a question that I get from a lot of people "What are your days like?" Well, they can sometimes be crazy, and sometimes be good. But, here is roughly what we do in a day.
Around 6:30 (sometimes much earlier) they wake up and get a bottle. They play while mommy and daddy get ready for the day. Around 8:30 they get a morning nap. Breakfast of cereal and a fruit is at 10, which is also the time the first person of the day comes to help mommy. At 11:00 is another nap, which will last until around 12. Then, there's lot of play time, and some Johnny Jumper time, too. Sometimes around 1:00, mommy will put them in their high chairs and let them watch Teletubbies in the kitchen (this is usually the only way she gets a break to eat lunch.) Another bottle at 1:30, and another person comes to help. Afternoon nap starts around 2:30 and lasts as long as mommy can make it. Sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 15 minutes. (She prefers the longer ones). Play time until 5:00 when dinner is served and one last person comes to help for an hour or so. Lately they have been eating sweet potatoes for dinner and have been liking them OK. We tried peas on Sunday and again today. They did NOT go over well. We'll keep trying them, though. Daddy usually comes home around 6 and plays. Bathtime is every other night at 7:30, last bottle of the day at 8 and to bed before 9. As you can see, we're very scheduled. But, we have to be, otherwise we would be crazy! They follow the schedule surprisingly well, too.
These are some pictures I took this week. It shows them in some daily activities. We have a family gathering this weekend, I'll post some pictures of that next week.
Top: Xander and Grace holding hands while watching Teletubbies.
Middle: Grace after Aunt Kara fed her peas. Surprisingly, she was smiling. However, she sneezed peas all over Kara's white pants as Kara was singing a song about not getting peas on her pants.
Bottom: Will, playing in the ever popular "farm chair."
