It is blog carnival time. Now you get to see how other moms spend their days. Here is my exciting day. For being a completely unstructured person my day with Eliza seems pretty routine. I am too tired to really be creative and I keep swatting ants off of myself- whether they are real or imaginary has yet to be determined.
Wakey, Wakey Time!!! Usually E wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30. If it is 6;30 I try to shoosh her back to sleep. This rarely works.
6:30 Changed that diaper!
7:00 Yumm-O breakfast time. I also use this time sign about eating. Eliza takes this time to grunt at me to get the food in faster. She just started eating waffles last week!
7:30 Eliza drinks her bottle in her play yard. Mommy drinks her coffee and checks her e-mail.
8:00 Play! & I attempt to stuff cloth diapers while chasing E around
8:30 ish go for a walk- usually with Rose and Alessia. Lately Eliza gets fussy so I end up wearing her and pushing an empty stroller. It is all the rage. You should try it out sometime. Steering with one hand is so much fun.
9:30 ish Go up to E's room so she can look at her books for a little bit. Sometimes we listen to Weird Al Yankavic and Kate Winslet sing "I Need a Nap" on her Dog Train CD.
10:00 I read one story, wrap her up,turn on her harp music and she is usually out in 2 minutes.
10:00-10:40 Mommy Time- This involves frantically completing some chores and eating so I have time to check my google reader before E wakes up.
11:00 LUNCH! Usually toast, maybe yogurt, some fruits and veggies
11:30-2:00 We usually play during this time house, ball, dance etc. I also use this time to reinforce her baby signs. Sometimes I snag a shower if she will sit in her swing and E gets her bath (every other day). Sometimes we run errands or got to the library. E usually watches one episode of Baby Einstein- usually World Animals or Backyard Animals because E looooves them and I can do the baby signs for the animals.
2:00-3:30 Nappy Time! This time she naps on my bed and I read, write or fold laundry. OK sometimes I snooze too! We only have one bed rail so I am bedroom ridden during this time.
3:30 Bottle & a snack
3:30-6:00 Usually we go for another shorter walk. I might attempt to prep some dinner if E is cooperative.
6:00 Din Din for E
6:30 Mommy puts on the T.V. YAY!!!!! Daddy will be home in an hour!
7:00 If I am making dinner I TRY to get serious about it by 7:00. Eliza's plan is to foil all my plans of making dinner.
7:30 Bottle & Daddy Gets Home!
8:15 Bed time Routine! Pajamas, Teeth, Three Books, Kiss, Wrap Music & Rock to Sleep all usually done by daddy.
8:30 Pete and I eat dinner. I usually try to hop on the computer at this time.
9:00 I can't lie- I am usually in bed reading by nine!
My day is maddeningly mundane and boring. I am sorry I just bored you all to tears. I guess some days are more exciting with play dates, swim class mom's group or trips to the zoo! But most days it's just me and E doin it the best we can.
Check out my favorite Nap Time song!

Thanks for joining in! You'll be glad to know I'm another empty stroller-pushing babywearer. I get some amount of looks as we walk through the village with littlepixie pushing the stroller herself while leaning out of the ringsling!
I must make waffles for LP, I've never had them! But they sound good :) LP is sleeping beside me, but I must listen to that song later, I love Wierd Al!
Very interesting! I have posted our schedule before, but it is always changing. Maybe I should post it again?
Do you still swaddle Eliza?
I have to ditto on the wearing the baby pushing the empty stroller bit as well! Our babies know a good thing when they got it! A few months ago I started leaving the sling in the car so I don't forget it when we go out. But on the occasion I do bring it in the house Svara insists on being carried in the sling on and off throughout the day.
ahhhh the days of two nap times... how I miss it!
I think it's a great fun day!! It won't be much longer and she'll sign all the animals she sees at the zoo! (I don't know the sign for "donkey" but when I told Lillian that we were about to see a donkey, she started signing "monkey! monkey!")
I like reading other people's schedules! haha...yeah, I know...I find schedules exciting! Weird. Anyways, sometimes I see/find/hear of a neat idea in someone else's schedule and want to add it to ours! :)
Sounds like a delicious day!
Actually, that sounds like quite the busy day. I know how exhausting those days can be!
