Haven’t I been back here since i signed up? Busy, Busy, Busy…that is my excuse for everything these days. Am I really so busy? I’ve decided to journal my day to see exactly why I consider myself to be soooo busy…so this is a good place to begin…
8:30-9 am My little alarm clock goes off…happy baby singing in her room… 
great to wake up to even when I stay up too late and just want to sleep in. It’s up and at ‘em. This weekend we happen to be dog sitting for my bro-in-laws 2 beagles, so I have to let out 5 dogs…1 out the front door and 4 out the back…fix a morning bottle/coffee (she has an AM and PM bottle) then go greet baby with the “good morning to you” song, change the diaper and then we go to the living room to have the bottle and watch Curious George, play. etc….and I let the dogs in…feed and water.
9-10 am more playing…then I go to the kitchen to make oatmeal and toast. Invite Lydia to the table and feed her.
10:30 She is ready for a nap…yay…me too! I decided that today will be pajama day. we slept until 12:30…yay!!!!
12:30-1 pm Lydia’s lunch…and mine too
after lunch, I showered and then we played and played and I made a grocery list…well, Da Da was going to go to the store for us but he had to go to work to straighten out a mess someone else had made. We did nothing other than play and when Da Da got back we had “band practice” with Da Da on guitar and harmonica (he is very good), Lydia on maracas and Mom on a homemade drum set consisting of an upside down bucket, a tambourine and other solid objects to bang upon. This went on until bed time at 8:30 pm. I love spending my time with my little family. And this day being a Sunday, we had no other obligations and chose to have pajama day!

Yay for pajama days!!!!
Does Lydia stay awake from lunch until bedtime??

occasionally she does, this has been happening recently. I encourage the afternoon nap because she feels better and I can get things done around the house. Someone told me the around this age they stop taking more than one nap through the day. I really think she needs it.
She takes her 1st around 10ish and the 2nd around 3.

Aidan is close in schedule. Lately his first nap happens 2 hours after he gets up and he sleeps for 3 hours (oh so nice!!) then his second one is around 5pm.
But with these new nap times comes later bed times. And he eats dinner so late. I’m thinking of trying to keep him up instead of letting him nap a 2nd time.

Sometimes it just works out better that way. On the weekends, it seems like as soon as we finally get ready to go out and have some fun…it’s nap time again! So, while the 2nd nap is great through the week, on the weekends it keeps us in sometimes…oh well, it will all work out.
