I would have to say that Braedon and I have created somewhat of a consistent routine from day to day. Braedon wakes up between 7 and 8, he get’s dressed, plays with his cars for awhile, and eats breakfast, and then on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays we go to the YMCA from about 8:30 to 10. On Wednesdays I work out at home before Braedon gets up and then we will either hang around the house in the morning or go to Happy Hollow, the mall, or another park.
I will randomly see cars stacked on top of each other throughout the house. It’s pretty funny.
I work out and Braedon plays in the daycare, which he absolutely loves. On either Tuesdays or Thursdays right after the gym we either meet up with the playgroup at a park or go swimming. If we go swimming, we normally swim for about 45 minutes. Braedon loves playing in the pool but man is it a process getting us both ready! I’m actually loving the pool a lot right now too. I feel so light in the water and the minute I walk up the steps to get out of the pool it feels like I immediately gained 20 pounds. However, today we went to another pretty cool park where Braedon got to play on toys that included a train and fire truck and he also got to ride on a real train. There are so many huge, fun parks in this area!
This was his first real train ride and he loved it. I usually pack his lunch when we end up going to the park so we can stay longer and then when we get home it’s usually about 1 pm. Nap time! Braedon will nap for about 2 hours and if we had a busy morning, like playgroup or swimming, we usually stay home and play in the afternoon. If we just come straight home after the gym in the mornings then we will normally get out of the house in the afternoon. In our down time Braedon will spend his time coloring, throwing cars and blocks, pulling everything off his Mr. potato head, playing in his sandbox, searching for poop in the backyard, playing in his pool, and watching some nick jr. or the Disney channel. When I’m not looking or in the same room he will go through my purse…
Today he found single packets of peanut butter.
Yes, I carry peanut butter in my purse.
You never know when you might need some.
He will also practice his new, cool trick. Jumping, or “numping.”
It’s starting to get a little scary because he will try to jump off just about anything.
He’s pretty proud of himself for, “numping.”
Dad usually get’s home at about 5:30, we eat dinner, and then he gets about an hour to rough house with dad. Last night they did take a break to play some guitar though.
Until Braedon discovered it was more fun to drop the pick IN the guitar.
After some dad time, it’s bath time and then bed by 7. Then he wakes up and we do it all over again. By Friday I’m wiped out and spend a bit more time on the couch counting down the hours until Derek gets home. I think I am starting to slow down and feel the effects of being 34 weeks pregnant. I do love my days at home with Braedon though and am going to miss them when he eventually starts school.
