one day

This is an attempt to document a day in our life so we dont forget our Tokyo experience and to hold onto a moment of the days of being a kid because, they pass so quickly.

6.00am -7.00am - wake up, eat brekky - banana, blueberries, yoghurt, milk

7.00am-8.30am - walk walk with the dog - involves a lot of running and playing in the local parks and usually a visit to the bakery

8.30-11.30am - free playing with various toys. I have a set of drawers with lots of things to do so he can get whatever toy he wants and free plays. During this time I also like to do one or two more structured activities, this day we made shortbread cookies together (then ate them for morning tea) and after washing up did finger and brush painting about rain (because it was raining)

11.30-12.00pm - lunch, spaghetti bol from last night and milk

12.00-2.30pm slept (hooray...some days he sleeps this long, I do admin, drawing, finish jobs, washing, etc..)

2.30-3.00pm free play at home and prepare to go out (its sunny now)

3.00-5.00pm - run in the park with the kids and the dog, play on jungle gym etc...

5.00-6.30pm - eat dinner (patties made from chicken, veges, egg) and avaocado on the side, shower and 3 books before bed. Books on high rotation are Hairy McLary, Hooray for Fish and ABC book.

6.30pm - big kiss and cuddle and the end of another precious and wonderful day. Sometimes the day goes so fast and I cant believe its bed time, other days, the bashing of toys, having of tantrums, yelling, screaming and general toddler-ness days seems longer but still enjoyable none the less.
