On any given weekday there are a number of things that happen pretty routinely in our home -- a dozen diapers changed, three meals and two snacks prepared and baths given before bedtime. And then there are the 'extra' things that we accomplish (if we're lucky), such as me writing this blog post :) I thought it'd be interesting to keep track, for one day, of the things that happen here at our house. I've listed them by number to make it less boring to read! So here it goes...

Have a great Wednesday!
hee hee this is funny! and such a great idea! I feel like I can barely remember my days with a toddler and baby…I miss those days at home and wish I would have done a better job at writing about a 'typical day". This is will be fun for you to look back at in a few years! Have you found any favorite books to read to the kids?
ReplyDeleteI haven't even been to the library with Liam since Chloe was born - can you believe it? But we definitely rely on our owned faves: The Napping House, All The World, etc. And Liam is digging the Arthur books lately.
