5:00 I wake up to try to finish planting flowers in our front yard
5:20 Reed wakes up. I go in, give him his pacifier, and tell him it's time to sleep, also pointing out that his clock is still blue, which means bedtime.
5:45 Reed has been in his room talking and rolling around for 25 minutes so I decide to let him get up. He reads books in his bed while I do stuff in his room, then I get him up, do a diaper change, and head to the kitchen for breakfast.
6:25 Reed is finished with breakfast, says a quick goodbye to Dad, we do his inhaler, brush teeth, and feed Dodger
6:45 We get in the car to go for a run.
7:50 We get back to the house. Reed says he wants to do markers so I oblige and go through mail/bills while he draws. I notice him put a marker in his mouth and tell him it needs to stay on the paper, he does it again (I take a picture because it looks hilarious), then say we are all done with markers, tears ensue.
8:25 I tell Reed that it is time to put his swim clothes on. He doesn't like this idea, hates the swim diaper, likes the swim trunks after I tell him they are from Tio, hates the shirt.
8:40 Reed says he's hungry so he eats some applesauce and then we head off to swim lessons.
9:00 Apparently you don't swim on the first day of lessons (wish I knew that before we had WW III over the clothing change) but you do walk around the pool, learn all of the rules, and meet your instructor.
9:45 We get home and I tell Reed we can go swimming in our pool since we didn't get to go in the big pool. I get in the water up to my calves and decide that maybe we should practice sitting on the edge and splashing instead.
10:00 Grandma calls and we figure out our schedule for the next day since I have to go into work and Reed will be with her.
10:15 We take Dodger for a walk
10:45 Reed plays on the slide and investigates what Dodger is doing. I try to catch him on camera playing with the door beneath the slide, but right after I snap the picture he declares "poop" - which makes his facial expression and position pretty funny! We head in to do a diaper change. After we are done Reed insists on doing "hair gel." I leave Reed reading a book to his rocking horse and head to the kitchen to make lunch.
11:20 We eat lunch together (along with his two stuffed animal monkeys who he insists sit at the table with us).
11:50 He throws all of his "guys" (stuffed animals) into the crib and then gets in and rolls around with them. We clean out the crib, read a book, then Reed goes down for a nap.
12:00 While Reed sleeps I pick-up the house, do an arm/leg workout, finish planting my flowers, give Dodger some much needed attention, harvest ripe veggies from the garden, shower, answer some work emails, put the laundry away, take care of some HOA bills and paper work, and install a toilet paper holder in the bathroom
2:45 Reed wakes up, immediately demands milk and then sorbet. The kid hasn't had or asked for sorbet in over a month, so I'm not sure where this came from, but I happily oblige and he powers through two and a half small cups of the "red kind" (raspberry).
3:15 I smell that Reed needs a diaper change so we head back to his room
3:30 Reed announces he has "nother" poop - apparently I didn't wait long enough the first time around before I changed him!
3:40 Reed says he wants to "eat sompin'" but when asked or even given a few choices he can't come up with anything, we go to the kitchen and he decides hemp milk will do the trick.
3:50 I've been trying to encourage some independent play time each day hoping this will help during nursing sessions, etc. when #2 arrives. I get out some blocks and we dump them on the living room floor. Reed plays with them while I clean out our dehydrator, I mention to Reed that I'm going to baby yoga in a little bit, and I start getting a few things together to help Jon with dinner and bath time. Apparently my disclosure prompts Reed to get out my yoga mat, work out shoes, and a bunch of DVDs, at least he's trying to be helpful!?!
4:20 I start playing with the blocks with him
4:40 Jon gets home, we exchange hellos and quick downloads of our day, then I say goodbye and head to yoga.
5:00 The boys head outside and play on the swing set
6:00 Dinner. I'm not sure what Reed did during cleanup, but the house was clean when I got home so I'm guessing he probably played in "his" cupboard while Jon did the dishes, etc.
6:45 Bath time, lotion, inhaler, nasal spray, allergy medicine, fluoride, pajamas, brush teeth. Jon gets Reed all cozy and ready for bed and they read stories waiting for me to get home
7:25 I get back to the house. We read one final story together, give hugs and kisses, and then it's lights out.
