Ahhh, the morning. So peaceful. So quiet. So goddamned early. Whose stupid idea was this morning stuff anyway?
Whether you love mornings or hate them, we all have routines and rituals that help get us started for the day. At the moment, mine is: HOPEFULLY 6.15 a.m.: Baby wakes, I nurse him, then play with him, for a little bit while husband showers. 6.45 a.m.: Husband returns from shower, takes baby, I get to bathe wheeeeee! 7.00 a.m.: Get dressed, get baby to high chair. 7.15 a.m.: Attempt to put baby food inside baby. Sometimes this is just a purée that I spoon feed him, and sometimes we do something called baby led weaning, where you just… give the kid food. And you let them pick it up, and squish it in their tiny hands, and throw it, and hopefully get it to their mouths, and try to chew it with their gums, and if you're really lucky actually eat some! While the baby is doing this I also try to smash a coffee (oh man I need it so bad) and a banana smoothie for breakfast (so fast and easy). 7.30 a.m.: Husband leaves for work, we say "bye bye!". Take baby to window and let him watch daddy drive away while trying to encourage him to wave. 7.45 a.m.: Read a story to the baby, then sing songs, and start taking him to get ready for a nap. 8.00 a.m.: Trying to put the baby down for a nap. Usually the easiest one of the day. While waiting for him to self-settle/confirming that he's actually asleep, I make the bed in the dark (he's still in our bedroom at the moment), and I put hand cream on my hands to try to stop them cracking from all the hand washing I do after nappy changes. 8.05 a.m.: Sit in the lounge room for a moment in disbelief that the baby is asleep and I can do ANYTHING I WANT while he naps. Maybe have more coffee. Brush my teeth. Squander the time… (this is what I'm doing right now) Soooooo, what do your mornings look like? ____________________ Tarale.net |
