I thought I would share our little morning routine schedule; I call it a routine but sometimes it is just our normal Morning Madness!
4:15am - Ring Ring, The alarm goes off and if it had a face I would probably punch it! We are currently in our second round of trying to move Kelti from our bed to the crib. (The first round was when she was about 7 months and until then she slept in her bassinet from the day we had brought her home. Well, we failed and she started sleeping in the middle of our bed. SO onto the second round.) So some nights she will sleep soundly with only mommy peeking over at the video camera to make sure all is well and then drifting back off to sleep. Other nights, she will toss and turn, cry for her missing Binky 5 different times and before we know it, by 2:30am she is again in mommy and daddy's bed just so we can get a couple decent hours of sleep. Now off my soap box and back onto the schedule...
4:30am - I actually get up.. I leave Luke and Kelti sleeping and I head to the gym.
6:15am - I get home, kiss Luke goodbye as he is running out the door to go to work and sometimes if I am lucky Kelti will still be sleeping and I can get a shower in before she wakes up. Other times, she is up and meets me at the door with a tired, "Hi Mommy!".
6:15 - 7:00am - This time is used to shower, hopefully just by myself but if Kelti is up she likes to join me by crawling into the shower, PJ's, diaper and all, then wants me to pick her up. Showering with a baby in your arms is a hard task, try it sometime. Mommy tries to quickly do her makeup, dry her hair and get dressed all the while Kelti is wanting to eat the lipstick and taking my underwear out of the drawer and wearing them around her neck like a scarf. Next we get Kelti ready! Diaper change, clothes, hair combed because this kid has the WORST bedhead I have ever seen! And then we watch the clock or mickey mouse and wait for auntie to walk through the door.
7:00am - My sister arrives, YAY! She watches Kelti during the day, sometimes at our house, sometimes at other houses depending on which family she is Nannying for that day. But she always comes early to help me get breakfast going for myself and Kelti or to help me finish getting ready if my hair happens to still be in a towel.
7:30am - Out the door and off to work! Ahhh, missing my little girly already. :(
Happy Friday all! Lets hope we can all perhaps sleep in until 7am tomorrow. Yay for Saturdays!
