Whats a routine?
No, really. Our day varies so much based on other stuff we have to do. But, here are some things that I try really hard not to change:
Wake up 7 am (not my choice, hers)
Cuddle, play, helps me feed dog and cat.
Breakfast time in highchair with music on.
Nursies, 15-20 minute nap around 9:30.
Lunchtime in highchair with music on, usually while Im cleaning the kitchen (I try for lunchtime to be a high energy meal)
Run around and play, or do some physical activity
Two hour nap around 1:30
snack when she wakes
Dinner around 5:30
Bath around 7
Bed around 8
It varies a lot, but I do try to follow this basic schedule, even if we are out and she has to have her naps in the carseat while Im driving. Throughout the day we spend a lot of time outside chasing bubbles, butterflys, the cat, picking grass and clovers, picking up rocks and putting them in piles. I take her on my errands bank, grocery store, ect. We live in small town and I try to make it a learning experience for her to go places. We go inside at the bank. We try to always go to the same lady at the grocery store. We go to the pool, playground, and creek regularly.
Congrats on getting to stay at home! I hope you dont find that its more work than your job was (I did, but I love it.)

I thought it was funny cuz that's pretty much how I'm feeling. I know it will be way more work than a "regular" job but I know it"s worth it. Thanks!
