Here's a little sneak peek inside Crib Notes. To read more, check out the book!
From A Day in the Life
Next time someone downplays the work involved with being a stay-at-home mom, or snidely says that it must be nice to get to work from home, share this Friday morning with them.
TGIF?
4:40am
H crying
B calling for Daddy (who left for work about 5 minutes ago)
5:00am
B finishing half a banana and a cup of water
H alternating fussing and tooting
5:30am
B in bed reading books
H now crying, wants to nurse for 3rd time since 9pm
5:40am
B, still in his diaper from overnight, yelling "PEE PEE!!" (guess I have to take him to the bathroom. After all, I started this potty training thing...)
H temporarily back in crib during pee pee run= not happy
6:00am
B in bed playing with Prayer Bear (AKA loudest stuffed animal ever to exist—thanks G.G.)
H finally settling for water, falling back asleep despite said Bear
6:15am
"PEE PEE!!" (more came out—through the seat, onto the floor, my feet, and his pajama shorts)
B, having been up for an hour and a half, is bored of being in bed, now just yelling
H, despite the noise, still asleep
6:30am
B in my bed, watching and singing to Elmo (thank God for Tivo)
7:00am
Elmo's over
B's sliding off the bed "Down! O-me-al [oatmeal]!"
H talking, yelling in crib
7:05am
My eyes are rejecting my contacts
Hit in face with poop smell as baby’s bedroom door is opened
B scaling crib rail to get in with H
H smiling (poop in diaper and on sheets)
7:15am
H, crib, and changing table, changed
B peeing (apparently takes after me)
Poop laundry started
7:45am
B finishing 2nd half of banana and 2 packs of oatmeal
H inhaling "gourmet" Banana Orange Medley and rice cereal (mmm, mmm)
Sending my first work email of the day
8:00am
Little Einsteins coming on (aahhh)
Stale cake for breakfast
Forecast:
Desired—Play nicely all morning, eat lunch, synchronize naps
Probable—Toys being thrown by mid-morning, too tired to eat lunch, alternating naps
