School days

Almost 3 months of school is behind us now. I can safely say we have a kinda sorta routine that's working for us. Mornings are "cut-to-cut". A 5 min delay means we are late to school by 5 mins.

6:40 - We wake up, brush, make coffee. Amit picks up the cook
7:10 - We wake Rian up. If he's happy he's cooing and chatty. If not, he's super cranky!
7:15 to 7:30 - Milk time with Mumma.
7:30 to 7:45 - Bath time with Mumma, and brushing too! Daddy takes a shower in this time, and is ready to take Rian.
7:45 to 8:00 - Dry, wear clothes, clown around with Daddy, choose socks to wear. Mumma showers at this time.
8:00 to 8:15 - Breakfast time with Daddy. Mumma gets ready.
8:15 to 8:20 - Pee pee, wear shoes, load the cuddlekins into Mumma car. Mumma packs her lunch and runs to car.
8:20 to 8:40 - Drive time to school. If we are lucky we make it before 8:45am and the teachers are still outside for pickup time.
11:30am - Daddy leaves from his office to pickup the poodla.
12:10pm - Daddy duo reach home and have some masti
12:15 to 1:00 - Lunch hour with Cely
1:45 - Rian's usual poo poo time :D
2:00 - Fresh fruit yogurt time
2:30 to 5:30 - Rian's nap hours are unpredictable now. In this 3 hr window, he sleeps on most days for 2 hrs.
5:30 - Milk time with Cely
6:00 - Fruit snack time with Cely
6:45 to 7:30 - dinner time
7:30 to 8:30 - Playtime with all, video chat with grandparents, TV time, water colors time, you name it time.
8:30 to 8:45 - Milk time with Mumma
8:45 to 9:00 - sleep routine: brushing, moisturize with bedtime lotion, change into pajamas, give lots of kisses and hugs to Mumma and Daddy
9:00 - Rian is in bed if all goes well

• Cely leaves by 6-6:15 on Mondays and Tuesdays, so Rian gets more time with Daddy and Mumma but eats considerably less dinner.
• On Wednesdays, Daddy and Mumma go for a dance class and get back by 8:45pm. Rian is done with his dinner, milk and sleep routine and nestled in with Cely by then. Daddy and Mumma get 10-15 mins of cuddles with Rian before Rian goes to bed at 9. Mumma goes to drop Cely to her home, and dinner for Mumma and Daddy is at 9:45pm. Sigh. Win some lose some.
  
• On Thursdays and Fridays, Cely stays for Rian's dinner and leaves at 7:15. Daddy and Mumma get maximum playtime with Rian without worrying about how much Rian has eaten.

Mumma is trying to add weekday playdates to this already packed schedule, can you imagine :-) And Mumma also tries to squeeze in groceries on Thursdays and Fridays.

On Saturday mornings, the schedule is a bit different:

7:15 - We wake up a bit later. Rian sleeps ~30 mins late on Friday night so he too wakes up late.
7:30 to 8:00 - Rian wakes up and has his milk with Daddy. Mumma is in the kitchen making coffee and tofu for Rian.
8:00 to 8:30 - Rian gets an oil massage and bath with Daddy. Daddy dresses Rian up too.
8:30 to 8:45 - We catch a quick bite.
8:45 to 9 - Mumma and Rian drive to the Mommy-n-me gym.
9 to 9:45 - Rian loves jumping, climbing, hanging onto bars. Gym time is fun time.
9:45 to 10:25 - Mumma and Rian sit in the car and eat tofu in the car. Mumma has an occasional snack.
10:25 to 10:30 - Drive to the dance class which is in the same complex.
10:30 to 11:00 - Rian's dance class.
11:00 to 11:30 - Come back home or go to some place, playdate, mall, etc. We always meet up with Daddy at lunch time (~12:30-1pm).
From 8:45 to 12:45, Daddy takes care of the house, since we leave it in a destroyed state in our hurry to get out. Daddy usually gets ~3hrs of office work and sometimes even 4hrs!!

On Sundays, Mommy and Daddy take it totally relaxed. You can see WHY :-)
