A Day in the Life: 34 Month Edition

I have been doing these for awhile now and I love to look back and see how our lives have changed as Addie has gotten older. As I start this one, I will say that you will notice something that I hadn't mentioned yet. Addie is gone for a chunk of the morning now for preschool. This isn't necessarily permanent while she is actually just being evaluated to see what services she needs. Make sure to watch for an upcoming blog in the next few weeks about her being in preschool and you will definitely hear more about it. So although things aren't probably going to stay like this, this is how life currently is with a 34 month old.

0645 // I guess it's time to get up. I'm still adjusting to this new wake up time for me in the mornings but I have to get going before Addie these days.

0703 // I decided to go lazy this morning and instead of messing with my hair, I dressed then sat back down to read until my second alarm went off which meant I had to get up Addie.

0723 // Time to get the kid up. She got up better this morning than yesterday at least. I hate waking her up but she got up and away we go.

0735 // Family breakfast time! She finishes before Rob and me so she sits at the table and colors while we continue eating.

0754 // Rob is off to work.

0800 // I get her dressed and all ready to go.

0823 // The kid is officially dropped off and now I'm asking myself what I'm going to do with myself this morning.

0837 // Prenatal yoga

0900 // I finally decide to finish getting myself ready for the day. Clearly today is not a day I'm moving very quickly.

0906 // Thanks to some pregnancy stomach issues, I'm not looking to do much of anything so I think I'm just going to settle back down and ready for a bit.

0942 // I decide that I really need to get out of the house so I head to Hobby Lobby and Target.

1049 // I'm back home and I want to get a few things done before it's time to pick up Addie.

1122 // Time to fill that car seat again.

1143 // Just hanging out with my girl until lunch and nap. She's got a sniffy nose and a cough thanks to drainage and I'm feeling a little blah myself, so we settle in together on the couch.

1210 // Lunch time. That's about as boring as it comes.

1340 // Time to go up and do some reading today.

1358 // Addie is in bed and I'm off to our room. After throwing up my lunch, I have a pounding headache and just want to be comfortable. So off to watch my Netflix movie, work on my blog and just lay down.

1606 // The monster is awake so it's time to get off my lazy butt and get my bug.

1615 // She does some playing and coloring while I do some reading. I'm still nursing a bad bad bad headache.

1625 // Addie actually wants to play with me!

1655 // I told Addie she could have some iPad time while I made dinner. She was definitely pumped.

1724 // Rob's home!

1740 // I'm running behind making dinner but it's finally made and we are sitting down for dinner.

1822 // Dinner is over and I'm off for my night of no dishes, no cleaning and no Addie care. Of course they follow me to the living room then.

1910 // Royals game! Rob gathers trash and Addie colors. We basically all do our own thing.

1940 // Rob's alarm goes off and they start cleaning. He then takes her upstairs to get ready for bed and read. I continue watching the game - have I mentioned how much I love my off-nights on Tuesdays?!

2000 // Addie's in bed. Rob finishes the dishes and I continue to do the nothingness I'm currently doing. We basically hang out until we decide to wander upstairs and go to bed ourselves.

And that's our day in a nutshell.
