I was reading my old (private) blog about sonshine's routine and was surprised that his routine at about 8-10 months old is pretty much similar to babydoll's! I then decided i should record her routine too (in case i have a 3rd kid!).

Babydoll usually is up at 8-9am. Sonshine wakes up at about 9am. I would wash them up and let the girl crawl around the house while the boy plays with his toy or watch a tv program.  The boy and i have our quick breakfast. Some days i would lure the kids into the playroom and we'll do some activities or rather she will play Miss disruptive while sonshine tries to do some activities.  

About 10-11am, she would be due for her nap. Normally, if she wakes up early at 8am, she would take her nap at home, if its late 9am-ish, then she would fall asleep in the car on our way to sonshine's school. While she is asleep, i dress sonshine and i up for school. 1130am- we're off to school!

If she's asleep in the car, i would happily drive myself to nearby malls after i drop sonshine off and wait patiently in the car till she wakes up before we, ladies, go shopping! Otherwise, i would go straight home for my lunch. Either way, i would head home before i leave again to pick the boy up. After i ensure that my tummy is satisfied, i would feed the lady her solids. At this point, she isn't fantastic with her meals so i prepare her meals that is fuss free like instant cereal!

When she is not fussy and sleepy, i would take this time to read her books and do flashcards with her. It is tough doing this when sonshine is at home because he tends to want to join in and make alot of noise thus distracting the little one. Otherwise, she is very willing to sit on my lap and let me read 4-5 books to her. I can tell she enjoys our reading session! Anyway, that is why i choose to read and do flashcards with her at this time when big brother is in school.

Her next nap would be due at 1-2pm. Again, she usually takes her nap at home otherwise it would be in the car on our way to school. Her naps usually last 20-30mins.

By 3 pm, we are all home again. Sonshine takes his snacks while babydoll continues her floor expedition. At 4pm, i would pack the kids into the room. Depending whether they are tired otherwise i would play alittle while with the both of them or read. by 5pm, the kiddos are asleep and this is where I take my nap!! MY FAVOURITE TIME OF THE DAY CAN YOU TELL??!!

The kids are up from their nap by 7pm just in time to greet papa when he comes home! Dinner for all, daddy plays with the kids while i take my shower.

Babydoll is off to her lala land by 9pm-ish. The boy....well....erm very late. After he showers, i am back to work- i read books with him while he drinks his milk. This is where my day ends! Or not, i have to put the boy to sleep because my dear husband needs his 'me' time so i have to sacrifice my bedtime for my dear dear husband.

This is my life. How fun isn't it? ;P
