A Day in the Life....

Of Cooper:

7:00am- Wake up, sometimes singing, sometimes yelling at me, sometimes banging on the wall to get my attention, usually with poopy #1 for the day
7:30am- Eat some breakfast
8:00-10:00am- Play, play, play, somewhere in there, usually do #2 poopy and have some milk
10-10:45-ish- morning nap, which is usually just a "power nap" of 30-45 minutes
10:45-ish - Noon- Play, play, play
Noon- lunch time
12:30-2:00- Play, play, play, sometimes another poopy, some more milk
2:00-4:00 if I'm lucky- nap time, oh, I can get a lot done in a short amount of time
4:00-5:00pm- Play, play, play
5:00pm- dinner
5:30-7:00- Play, play, play
7:00- Bath and play til bed time
8:00- Milk, book, and bed til 7am the next morning.

This is the life! Of course, this is a day at home, a couple days out of the week, we are out running errands, which we usually start just after morning play time, since we are 30 minutes from all the places we need to go, that driving time is good for morning nap. He's such a good little trooper, that I even take him to workout with me at Curves, where he mostly sleeps and/or watches all of us, while sitting in his carrier for 30 minutes and rarely gets upset, thank goodness! But, he will be starting Kid's Day Out a couple of days a week in September, which will give him some time with other kids and me some time to get some work done, uninterrupted. I think we will both enjoy the break from each other and it will be that much more fun when we are doing the above routine.
The only news I have is that Cooper is getting more teeth!! His top two front teeth are finally starting to poke through after a very fussy week. Yay! He still has many to go, but it's still exciting to watch the progress. I will try to get a picture, but for now, the only ones he likes to show me are the bottom two.
