Dry Run Week - Day 2

Random thought of the day: If you say you open at 9:00 and you have 4 people waiting in front of your door - one of whom is a 3 month old - the least you could do after not opening your doors til 9:03 is say "good morning."

Last feeding last night: 9:15 pm
Up and feeding this morning: 6:05 am
Mommy & Dylan ready: 7:05 am
Left Dylan's room: 7:40 am
Pulled out of driveway: 7:43 am
At daycare: 7:53 am

Much better... I figure it will take me 2 minutes to park the car and get out and bring him in, so that brings us to 7:55. Which is close enough to 8:00 by the time I check in and stuff. We'll have to see whether their clocks are slower or faster than mine. But I'll tell you - I'm thinking about the extra $140 a month when I go back full time. I"d be at work before 8:00 which lets me leave around 4 instead of 5 and beat a lot of traffic. We'll see what the budget looks like then. I mean, it kills me to play here for 40 minutes just to kill time. Especially when he fell asleep two minutes into the car ride and didn't wake up til 8:15.

I figured out the feeding schedule. We'd start at 5:30 am and go every 3 hours until 5:30 pm and then go 3 1/2 hours til 9:00. Of course, I didn't run this by Dylan, so his plans were different. He slept til 6:00 again today, even though we fed him at 9:15. But I think this will work. We can eat at 6:00 then 10, 1:30, 5 and then 9. He made it til 10 today and yesterday eating at 6. We'll see how this plays out the rest of the week. At least we have two plans. Of course, tomorrow he'll wake up at 5:00 and throw everything completely off.

Well, we have to go to StrollerFit now. (It's inside today because of the rain and so they hold it at 11:00). I feel bad because Dylan is completely happy right now on his play mat. But I guess it's ok because it's almost nap time, so he's probably about to crank any minute now.

I keep telling myself that it is onlly for a limited time that I have to worry about "feeding schedules" and having 5 mini-power-naps a day. Because it is seriously the feeding and the napping that are driving me crazy. Just when I figure both out, it changes.

Count your blessing lady with those mini naps. I'd rather mini naps with a big sleep at night (kudos Dylan, BTW) than a ten month old whose "just not that into" the whole sleeping through the night thing. Everyone justs says, don't worry, he'll sleep SOMEDAY.

Enjoy your last few days at home.
