Lily and I have had a consistent schedule on Saturday for many months now. It goes like clockwork, and this is how it all transpires:
7:00 - 8:00 AM
One of the kid's wake up, and after some muffled debate, one of us gets up with them. If there is enough time we make pancakes, and try to clean up the house a little or do the dishes leftover from the work week.
9:30
This is when the mad scramble to get ready for Soccer (which starts at 10AM) begins. We always run late. Kid's have no sense of time and I don't fair much better on a Saturday morning.
10:05
We arrive at soccer, late. After 3 sessions of Lil Kickers soccer - Lily is now a Veteran of the game and participates in doing everything the class does. She's prone to freezing and staring at what other kid's are doing, which is a lot different than the problem most of the boys (which make up most of the class) have....which is just doing their own destructive thing. (Chance that Lily falls asleep on the drive to soccer: 5%)
10:45
Soccer done, we slowly make our way to the truck and drive to Life Time fitness. If I prepared ahead, then Lily is eating a banana or other similar snack. If I forgot to prepare ahead, we stop at the Life Time Cafe where Lily can eat a fruit cup or yogurt (and everything after this is delayed by 25 minutes). (Chance that Lily falls asleep on this drive: 15%)
11:05
Lily goes into the gym daycare and I head upstairs to work out.
11:10 - 12:35 PM
I do my workout. Lily uses the climber, plays with baby doll, draws a picture and uses the drinking fountain numerous times (something she's fascinated with).
12:40 PM
I get back to the daycare to get her. This presents the most awkward time of the morning, since Cindy usually goes to the gym sometime between 11 and 12:30, so my son, Nate, is there in the day care room - and I leave him behind. Lily is pushing the limit without a nap, so getting her shoes and jacket on isn't easy, but we manage and load up in the truck - heading for Chipotle. (Chance that Lily falls asleep on this rather short drive: 30%)
1:00
Lunch at Chipotle - Chicken burrito for me & kid's Quesdilla for her. Lily likes a cup of water along with her milk....because the food is 'hot'.
1:35
Loading up in the truck again - heading home. (Chance that Lily falls asleep on this drive: 100%)
2:00 - 2:30
Back home and it's long past nap time. I carry her to her room, taking off her shoes &a jacket along the way. If she wakes up, it's not for long.
