My time as a stay at home mom is coming to an end and I thought it was time to share another day in the life post before I go back to work in a few weeks. It took us a few months to get into our own groove and things definitely got easier once we were past the newborn stage. Levi is now 7 months old (see my latest update here). I was able to take advantage of a generous parental leave policy and maxed out all other paid (vacation) and unpaid (personal leave of absence) time off to get a glimpse into the life of a stay at home mom. It has been a wonderful experience (so much better in so many ways that I didn't expect) and this day a few weeks ago is a great example of the fun and everyday craziness with the kids. You just never know what to expect.
This is my third "day in the life of" post. You can read the other two here and here.
6:23 am. Ava and Noah are awake, which means I'm up too. I change Ava's diaper and we cuddle on the couch for a bit. We have breakfast in the kitchen, tea and zucchini bread for me, bagels and water for them. I check my messages and follow up on a few things.
6:45 am. Tony gets up, grabs breakfast to go, and gets on the road. The kids are eating slowly, Ava goes potty, then Noah needs to go too...It seems like things are taking forever. I attempt to empty the dishwasher, but don't get far.
7:45 am. Levi is awake; I hear him making happy noises in his bed. I go get him, change his diaper, and put him on the living room floor to play.
