| Tuesday, June 19, 2012 |
Aghoo's Mom had written her schedule with a 1 year old in day care and both parents working full time. It looked totally crazy. I kept me wondering if I would be able to do a similar schedule. The past two weeks for us has been a lot of getting used to. New routine.
This week is much better. Thanks to SKS for checking up on me. :--) I really appreciate it.
Today inspite of it being a Monday, BSK did not cry in the morning when DH left her at the day care. (I wrote this yesterday, apparently today also BSK did not give a whimper when she was handed off to the day care aunty!) All of last week she would cry for 10 seconds or so before getting distracted. When I went to pick her up she was walking around in her goofy style. She saw and she came walking fastly towards me. She smiled at the day care aunties, which is a HUGE deal. Last week and the week before she would crinkle her nose when she saw them, like 'take me away from these people!'
I also noticed that her clinginess was just a by product of her sickness. This week she is better and she just plays by herself without wanting to be carried all the time. Madame is also walking like a periya manushi all over the house. It is just way too cute to watch. She would not just walk but carry around her toys, and other stuff with her. Things that are too heavy also she would try to haul with her.
BSK can give umma now! Except she would bring her forehead to your cheek. But her tiny lips do make it there too to make a wet sloppy kiss. She can give umma to amma, appa, puppy also.
So coming to our schedule.
5:45AM - DH wakes up, gets milk for BSK
6:00AM - SK wakes up, goes down to to prep BSK's Day Care bag. Cut fruits, veggies, keep rice, dhal, veggies in the cooker, make oatmeal, yogurt, pack banana, clothes, bottles. Make eggs. By then BSK has her milk, gets her diaper changed and goes back to sleep.
6:30AM - SK has her tea, checks emails.
6:45AM - SK (stands in the closet trying to figure out what to wear for 10mins) showers while DH sleeps his second round.
7:15AM - SK is out, DH goes to shower. BSK is half sleepy, carried downstairs. If she is sleeping, put her down, and pack her lunch, eat breakfast, pack bags, comb hair etc. If she is awake, let her play in the kitchen or carry her around while doing stuff. (If she is half asleep, just sit with her not doing anything, get late.)
7:40ish - DH comes down. BSK gets her face washed. And is handed over to DH
7:45AM - SK leaves home to work, while DH and BSK sit on the floor and have breakfast.

5:00-5:15PM - SK reaches home, cuts fruits for BSK. Leaves with Ergo carrier and a hat to walk to the daycare. Car seat is installed only in one car.
5:30ish - BSK and SK walk back home, BSK notes all the birds in the sky, gets hyper. BSK watches kids playing basketball and wouldnt want to leave the spot. BSK gets a rose from that one tree in the loop, every single day. BSK gets her ABCD lessons.
5:40PM - BSK and SK reach home. BSK eats her fruits while SK eats her something. BSK walks all over the place hauling her toys.
6:30PM - DH is home. Have tea, milk, snacks. Non Mondays, SK makes something for BSK for dinner. Has tried pasta, macaroni, sweet upma. Mondays SK goes to her Kwando class. Watch some TV.
7:00PM - SK does her workout in the garage which has been turned over into a home gym complete with TV. BSK plays with DH in her play area, with the Dino eating up her balls.
7:30M - SK plays a little bit with BSK while DH does his workout.
8:00PM - BSK gets her dinner. SK and DH take turns feeding her dinner.
8:30PM - SK and DH have dinner. DH cleans up the mess BSK has made. SK cleans up the kitchen, packs lunch for two. Unpacks daycare bag, washes boxes.
8:45PM - BSK gets her milk, SK and BSK go upstairs. BSK gets a shower and is into her jammies.
9:00- 9:45PM - BSK plays and drinks milk. Lights are dimmed. BSK continues to play gets her little workout and slowly winds down. DH in the meantime puts the dishwasher, sterilizes the bottles, gets SK some tea.
10:00PM - BSK is put in the crib, both get some work done, catch up with emails.
11:00PM - Lights out.
If you are wondering what we are eating, I cook veggies and lentils on Sunday. DH makes salmon. Sun to Wed we eat this. Thurs is fruit day. Fri is eat out day. Sat back to cooking. So far Sundays are the most hectic, with my cooking and DH doing laundry. No more looking forward to weekends I guess.
So touch wood but all is well in BSK's land. |
