Our Schedule

Our schedule is forever changing, but currently, this is what a day with three 14-month-olds looks like!

7:00 (sometimes earlier, sometimes later) - Nolan and Lucas wake up (Ollie will usually sleep another hour before being ready for the day).  These two don't ever seem to wake up happy.  So pretty much immediately I give them their milk and put on the Baby Einstein First Signs (ASL sign language) video.  I feel like this calms them down a bit and gets them ready to start their day.

8:00 - Ollie wakes up and has his milk.  Everyone plays until breakfast.  If it's nice out, we go on a walk.

9:00 - Breakfast & Story Time

9:30-11:00 - Naps

11:00-12:00 - Music Time/Play Time

12:00-12:45 - Lunch & High Chair Learning Time (we usually either do flash cards or look at a book together)

12:45-2:30 - Play Time (if home) or Outing - If we are home, I will oftentimes try to venture out to a different location in the house, so they don't get board of always playing in the living room.  This may be the basement or their bedroom or the kitchen/dining room area.  If weather permits, we might go outside and swing or play in the baby pool or water table. 

2:30 - Milk & Music (to calm them down and get them ready for nap)

2:45-3:30 - Naps

3:30 - Nolan and Lucas will often wake up after 30-45 minutes.  I always give them a snack as soon as they get up (most of it gets fed to the dog).  Ollie will usually sleep for another hour.

4:30-6:00 - Play time with Daddy.  If Daddy gets off work a little later than usual, Mommy sometimes has to put on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Pocoyo for the boys so she can get started on dinner.

6:00-6:30 - Dinner

6:30-7:15 - Wind Down

7:15-7:45 - Baths (if it's a bath night)

7:45 - Milk & Story

8:00 - Bedtime

Now obviously, things change from day to day and we have to adjust our schedule accordingly.  The boys don't always wake up at the same time everyday.  Some days they're up as early as 6;15 but other times they may sleep in as late as 8:30. Obviously we have to be somewhat flexible with the times we do everything based off when they wake up.  We also do play dates once a week in the morning.  Depending on when the play date starts, we'll either do an earlier or later morning nap that day.  

And in another month, everything will probably be different!
