I haven't taken the time to post an update in a while since I haven't had an update to post. So in thinking what to "blog" about I decided to blog about what a day in the life of Welker land is like. This is a typical day when JDog is at work.
6:45am both Lilyann & Nolan wake up- Lily goes in to straight cry or yells for Mommy I up. Nolan starts to throw out his blankets and binky and you can hear him run in his bed and make noises with his mouth.
7am diapers have been changed, moved downstairs, oatmeal is cooling down, Lily is drinking her morning brew (water) and Nolan is sucking down his "milk".
7:15am breakfast time (usually oatmeal then some sort of fruit) Lily takes much longer than Nolan to eat (she gets it from her slow eatin' momma)
7:40am Nolan gets down and plays
8:15am Lily is now playing with No-nos
We all play together, usually some books, dancing, tickle time. Vacuum the play area, if needed (which is almost every day).
9:15am going upstairs to get dressed, brush teeth, change diapers, and do any cleaning upstairs that is needed.
10am Nolan is off to night-night land and Lily and I head downstairs. This is the time that I take time to teach Lily something academic-use games or workbooks, so color. I also use this time to start laundry, do dishes, think about lunch & dinner, make any needed phone calls. If its a lot I find something for Lily to watch.
11:45am Nolan is up. Change diapers & make lunch as Lily and Nolan re-connect after being separated. (these kids are so BFF's)
12 pm LUNCH TIME
12:20pm Nolan is down and playing away.
12:45pm Lily joins the fun.
Afternoon playtime....lots of fun. During this times I just play mediator of sharing and act as the "No" police. If those fires don't need to put out, I am taking turns giving un-divided attention to one of the babies.
1:30pm Lily is off for nap time. If not already.
I use this time to teach something new to Nolan or work on something together. Also do more laundry, pick up some.
2:45pm Nolan is off the nap time, but not before a snack.
AAHHH peace, I usually go get the mail, sit down and right as I am going to start reading a book...
3pm Lily is up.
She plays independently :) as I start to get dinner going. Give Lily a snack.
4:30pm Nolan is up.
Finishing up dinner.
5pm JDog gets home, eat dinner.
5:30pm Nolan and Justin get done and play.
6pm Lily is finally done eating (usually not without much much encouragement)
Family playtime, talk about day. Maybe go outside, talk a stroller ride.
7pm Bath time, if needed
7:45pm J time (our name for pjs and night night) We take turns with one of the kids and put them to bed.
8:10pm kids sleeping
This time is used to clean up from the day, watering the garden, taking showers, finishing laundry.
10pm watch the news.
10:30 lights out in the Welker land.
