6AM Eleanor wakes us both up by pooping. I take her clothes off and kiss all her fat rolls and make her giggle. Justin comes in to kiss her too and make her smile and then he leaves for work. I clean her up and then we chat, sometimes I read to her, she drinks, we cuddle and then she's usually back asleep in 30 to 45 min. Just in time for Henry to wake up around...
7AM He shouts WILL SOMEONE COME CHECK ON ME? Henry and I cuddle and then he pees, gets dressed, brushes his teeth and we read books. Next we eat breakfast at the table. Usually cereal or oatmeal, fruit, and yogurt. Then he runs to the stove and yells "MOM I SEE A NUMBER TWO!" and I get up and walk over to the stove and see that there is not any number 2, and I say, "That's an 8" and he says, "Can I watch TV now?" and I say, "sure" and then he does a dance of excitement that looks like something peewee herman would do and he runs to the back room and plops on the couch. I turn on PBS for Curious George and then as soon as I walk back into the kitchen he yells, "I WANT SOME SNACK!" and I bring him something ridiculously healthy b/c he will eat almost anything I give him, if the TV is on. Today was prunes with almonds and a brown rice cake.
He will watch TV for 30 min to one hour. If Eleanor wakes up while he's watching TV it's an hour, b/c I like to have alone time with her. I feed her, change her, dress her, talk to her, play with her, etc.
Next we played outside 30 min and then drove to the little grocery store to get some snacks.
11:00AM Storytime at the library. E fell asleep in the carrier which is only the second time that's happened but this was one of the very few times I went out knowing she needed a nap. She did great. I feel inspired. Henry made cascarones and participated in his first ever "show and tell" and played with his friend Aryn.
12:30 We went home for lunch and they both napped till 3. Then we went outside and played t-ball and catch and ate popsicles and popcorn and Justin came home and I made dinner (a rarity--he usually does---black bean noodles with vegetable stir fry) and then Justin took Henry back outside while I played with E inside and then at 6:30 Henry took a bath (30 min later than usual since he napped 30 min later than usual) and then I read to him while Justin rocked E to sleep in the other bedroom.
I read to him till 7:15 while he ate fruit and sat in my lap, and then we brushed teeth and he and I got in his bed and cuddled and he told me I was his sweet boy and he liked me, and then I kissed him goodnight. Then Justin and I watched a documentary about Capitalism.
