lately i have been thinking about the rhythm of our day......really the lack there of. i am always so impressed with moms that have a set routine for their and their children's day. i also wonder how they maintain it. i had once tried to have a routine, even a schedule and it failed miserably!
right now i am trying a very basic routine. unfortunately our weeks have not been "normal" lately. this is the rhythm we are trying now:
morning
breakfast (hopefully before 8:30)
project/Craft/Hands on activity (the boys' best time is in the morning)
work with asher
asher's nap
lunch
afternoon
math for ike/nap time for ian
educational reading (history or fairy tales)
playtime
quiet time (ike)/time with ian
dinner
evening
after dinner cleanup
bath
jammies
story
bedtime for boys
after the boys are in bed it is time for a quick pick up of the house
mom and dad time
mom to bed (hopefully this is before 11:00pm)
so that is how i am trying to have our day flow. it is not going too bad but like i said, our weeks have not been normal. we have had lots of drs. appt. (we are changing from really good insurance to not so good insurance at the end of the month) and lots of visiting going on.
so how is your day organized? what is your advise for finding your rhythm? best scheduling tip?
