Seems like we have figured out our "summer" weekend routine around here. Mornings are spent staying busy doing something, then it's nap time, after nap off to the pool and then home for dinner. It's a very simple plan but about all we can handle these days!
Saturday after the museum, it was lunch, nap and then to the pool. Eli had a great time pushing a big dump truck in and out of the kiddie pool. He was quite pooped out at the end of the day and slept quite well all night. Granted he was still up at 6am but not a peep until then.
Today we started the day making homemade pancakes. Eli helped me as he loves using the "roundy round" - aka the mixer. After our nice family breakfast, Tim & Eli went on a bike ride around the lake to feed the ducks and I went on a walk of my own. It was nice to get outside and get a little exercise. A quick grocery trip and then Eli kept telling us he was sleepy. He wanted nothing to do with lunch but wanted to take a nap. We were worried about him going down for a nap with no lunch but he slept almost 3 hours and was in good trim when he got up. Then it was off the pool for more play time - we got to see his friend Owen there today and they enjoyed the water time. Home for dinner - this time Eli was starving! A little more playing and easily down for the night.
So that's our weekend plan. Have fun wearing Eli out in the AM, take a nap and then wear him out in the PM so he sleeps well. Simple but it seems to work so far - Eli is loving all the pool time! Hope everyone else found time for some fun as well.
