Day 4

I know I am a day late, but was exhausted yesterday evening and went to bed at 7:30.  Not like me at all.  Thought I was getting sick, but all is well this morning, THANK the Lord!

I am continuing to attempt to place order within my home.  I still haven't made an official schedule like I said I was going to do.  The only schedule that I stick to pretty regularly is that both boys take their naps daily around 1:30/2pm.  They are great sleepers and they usually sleep about 2-4 hours.  This means my kids stay up later at night.  This works out great for our family, since Matt doesn't usually get home until 6:30/7pm.  I want them to be able to spend as much time with their Daddy as they can. 

Every once and a while we will skip a nap.  Those are usually days with afternoon birthday parties, get togethers with family, etc.  Those are early bedtime days and Mommy and Daddy get some quality time from 7 until we fall asleep.

I am trying to decide if we should schedule play time, TV time, reading time, outside time or just stick to my unofficial scheduling of whatever we do + nap time at 1:30/2pm.  I am pretty strict about nap time and the kids are used to this as part of the plan for the day.

Speaking of plan for the day; the kids do like to know the "Plan for the Day".  This is a rundown of what we will do.  Jonathan likes to know what and when we are doing things throughout the day.  Plus, we usually count down to things like nap time, bath time, time to eat.  that way they understand that a time of transition is coming.

Maybe this is what I will stick to for right now.
