• Feb. 19, 2008 - New Routines (again)

We just updated our schedules because we eliminated Davi's naps, and we had to account for all that time.

Here are our schedules, but we use that word kind of loosely.  If I decide to let the girls sleep in a little because they are sick or were just up late the night before, I can adjust any part of this to make the day go smoothly. Routine is in half hour increments unless noted.

I no longer schedule my 17 year old daughter's (Christina) day so she just comes alongside and helps when she is available.

We do not have a night routine.  Once our after dinner routine is finished, we all hang around and visit, play, act silly until David goes to bed around 9:00 PM.  The we discuss our Bible in a year and character work done throughout the day, with my husband leading discussions.

Have a blessed day!
