Name: Flora
Date: 9-21-11
Arrived: 7:05am
Breakfast: 7:05am, some oatmeal, a few grapes
Snack 1: 10am, cereal
Nap 1: ----
Lunch: 12, all carrots, pasta, cheese, and grapes, 1/2 banana
Nap 2: 1:15-???. Because the room was so dark, I couldn’t tell if Flora ever really fell asleep or not. She started whining at 2, so I went up to her, but she seemed really tired and crabby, so I thought maybe she hadn’t fallen asleep yet. I tried to rock her for a while, but she only cried, so I finally brought her downstairs. I really am not sure that she took a nap at all…
Snack 2:
BM:
Special notes: Flora had trouble going down for a nap after lunch, but after re-tucking her a couple times (only to have her get back up and hang on the side of the crib), I decided it was time to put something over the window…so, I thumb-tacked a blanket over the window, put her back down again, and had no problems after that…I think the days of draping the blanket over the crib are long gone. :)

Name: Samuel
Date: 9-21-11
Arrived: 7:15am
Breakfast: 7:15am, some pasta with a little hummus and whatever else Andrea fed him before
Snack 1: cheerios (most of the watermelon was shared with others as Samuel seemed disinterested)
Nap 1: ----
Lunch: 12, most of sandwich and cheese, 1 banana, broccoli, a little PB
Nap 2: 12:45-2:15
Snack 2: PB and a tiny bit of apple.
BM: 11:45am
Special notes: Samuel barely made it through lunch! I was cracking up. He kept dozing off, so I was trying to loud and entertaining. This included throwing grapes in the air and catching them in my mouth . Flora was amuzed…Samuel, not so much. :) He made it, though, and then surprisingly took a little while to fall asleep. I also noticed that he threw up just a little bit this afternoon. It was mostly water and a tiny bit of small apple chunks. I don’t think it was anything to worry about…probably just drank too much water at once.

A few things we did today: read, went for a walk, played with Milo (fun times!), listened to music (I found a great kids station on Pandora. We did “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” today. Flora seemed interested and taking it in; Samuel isn’t quite there yet I don’t think, played in the middle room.

General notes: Both kids were a little fussier than normal, especially Samuel, but that may be because of the switch in schedule. I think I will try it for the rest of the week and see how it goes.
