Segments

Baby J's patterns of wakefulness and sleep divide my day into clearly defined segments.
  • Between the time she gets up for the day and the time she starts her nap, it's library time. We go to playgroups. We socialize. We take out books, CD's, DVD's, etc.
  • Between the time she starts her nap until the time she wakes up, it's daddy work time. I pound out assignments for class. I pay bills. I do work around the house. I write. I draw.
  • Between the time she wakes up from her nap and the time my wife comes home from work, it's go-somewhere-and-run-around time. The park, the mall, the playground. Baby J is free to roam and explore.
I have never much cared for routines but I don't see any other way of spending day after day with a little person who can't really communicate very well. The segmentation we have going now seem to be working for us so I guess I don't mind. Anyway, kids like routine.

This concludes the blogging segment of the day.
