1. I wake up with him in a good mood, no matter what time. I walk in his room give him good morning kisses and change his diaper. We grab his blanky and then turn on some morning cartoons. while he is watching his show I give him a sippy of milk and a piece of toast. I also make mommy and daddy some coffee :) Happy parents = Happy baby!
2. We always say bye bye to daddy together. I hold my son we give daddy kisses and hugs and wave as he heads off to work.
3. Clean up. My son is 20 months old and has been helping pick up his toys since he could move. We make it a fun game. I do the dishes and sing and he picks up his cars or moves his ride along toys in to his room. we have the music on and we enjoy it. When it comes time to vacuume he loves it! cleaning up is a part of our daily routine.
4. Dinner time. My son and I have dinner at the table together every night. With or without daddy :)
5. Bed time is quick at our house for the most part. 8:30-9pm rolls around and my son is changed, sucking his thumb and cuddling his blanky in his big boy bed. I tuck him in and say a prayer. When I walk out of the dark room I still always wonder if its going to be a bad night... it rarely is.
Routine is the only thing that saves us stay at home mommys! But we also have to have fun with it. Of course we could (and sometimes do) stress over everything and try to make it all perfect but I know I didn't have a baby to worry about how clean our house was or if the baby was always going to be good I did it because I wanted to be a mommy and that means taking the fits with the kisses!I dance and sing with my son and we go to story time and try new things and messy projects yes sometimes this means more work but I wouldn't change my life for anything!
