I Love Schedules

    I am a huge believer in schedules. 

    It's been a few days, but Aubrey is finally settling back into a system. Not an exact schedule, but I know generally how to plan my days now!

    Here's how it works on good days: 

    -Wake up around 7am. Eat, play, have fun with family

    -Nap around 10:30am for an hour or (two if we're lucky). Eat, play, more fun

    -Another nap around 3:30pm for an hour. Eat, play and lots more fun

    -7pm is usually quiet time and we wind down from a fun day. We change into pajamas and feed her one last time so she'll sleep with a full belly!

    -8pm we start getting her ready by bed. We read her stories and sing her songs until she rubs her face a lot, pulls on her ear and starts rubbing her face into my shirt. 

    Whenever she is ready, we lay her in bed, give her the little pink bear, cover her with a blanket and hope for the best :) Sure, sometimes during the night she likes to wake up and tell us all about her dreams. But she'll usually fall back asleep after a little bit if we just put her pacifier back in. 

    The past few days, things were crazy! We never knew when Aubrey would go down for a nap and she would wake up crazy hours during the night. The worst was when she woke up at 4 and refused to go back to sleep. 

    Hopefully that is all over! As I type this, she is in bed right now sleeping happily in her crib :)
