A Day In My Life

Today went something like this:

• 5am - Logan woke up. I went in to give him his nuk. I tried to go back to sleep. Logan didn't.
• 5:30am - Brian got up to get ready for work.
• 6:15am - Logan was still making all kinds of noise. Not crying, but not sleeping.
• 6:30am - Joshy songbird is up. He's very loud.
• 6:40am - I get into the shower as both my boys are singing their morning songs.
• 7am - I get Joshua up, dressed, and his and Lauren's breakfast ready.
• 7:15am - I get Logan up, dressed, and his milk ready.
• 7:30am - I feed Logan while Josh eats cereal and watches Mickey Mouse.
• 7:45am - Lauren wakes up. I tell her to go into the bathroom and go potty, pick some clothes out to wear and get dressed.
• 8am - Logan is fed, burped and changed. Josh is still eating cereal. Lauren is still talking to herself in the bathroom mirror.
• 8:15am - Josh is done with breakfast. Lauren is still trying to find something to wear.
• 8:30am - Logan is hanging out in the exersaucer. Josh is continuously asking me if we can watch "Cars." Lauren comes downstairs in black tights that are not pulled up all the way and a shirt. I tell her to get some pants on.
• 9am - Logan is ready for a nap (go figure). Josh is playing with his trains. Lauren FINALLY comes downstairs dressed normally. I am trying not to throw my computer out the window.
• 9:15am - Logan is fast asleep in his crib. I bring in the tricycle from the garage so Josh can practice pedalling to get ready for spring. Lauren is dancing and singing along to the Cheetah Girls "Dig a Little Deeper" and some Hannah Montana on Radio Disney.
• 9:30am - Josh is pedalling like a champ all around the house.
• 9:32am - Josh and Lauren are fighting over the trike.
• 9:33am - Josh is crying because Lauren pushed him off the trike.
• 9:34am - Lauren is crying because Josh hit her.
• 9:35am - Josh and Lauren are each in separate corners for their time-outs.
• 9:40am - After apologies and discussion on why sharing is important and hitting is not okay they are best buds and off to the basement.
• 9:45am - They are both back upstairs for a snack.
• 10am - 12pm - Josh and Lauren are playing/fighting/crying in the basement. I am doing dishes, laundry, being a lawyer, finding out about the insurance coverage of Logan's circumscision (or lack thereof), building blocks, playing cars, dancing with Lauren, wiping tears, wiping noses, and drinking my Diet Mountain Dew to keep up.

• 5pm - I start dinner as Lauren is looking through her Valentines and Josh is riding the trike.
