Thanks so much for your post Lauren. You have a really good schedule!

Our youngest just turned one so we have had a bunch of changes. We pretty much have weaned him from the bottle and he is also now on table food (yay!) so I just updated our schedule. See below. I also added our schedule for our nine year old. I love having a schedule, of course there's some days that we pretty much do away with the schedule because well of course with kids things are often unpredictable; but for the most part it keeps me sane having it and the kids know what to expect. Like for example, for my nine year old I post it on the refrigerator so he can't try and get out of doing home work to go play with friends first or whatever. He sees it on the schedule and he sees he can play but he also sees it's after homework. =)

Hi! I stay home with my 2 and we are getting to the point where we have a somewhat set schedule. I never did with my oldest, but when #2 came along, it got to be more necessary for my sanity, among other things. It isn't quite as mapped out as Amy's, but here it is:

7:30- both kids get up, Logan has breakfast, Cadi has a bottle

10:00- Cadi has second bottle, takes first nap

12:00- Cadi gets up, has a bottle, Logan eats lunch

2:30- bottle for Cadi, snack for Logan, nap for both

5:00- both get up, bottle for Cadi, supper for Logan

7-7:30- start getting both ready for bed, including bottle for Cadi, usualy asleep by 8:30

3:00AM- Cadi still wakes up for a bottle, working on weaning her off this feeding

Cadi is starting on cereal, but that hasn't been consistent yet.
