6:30am - Babies usually wake up
Whoever is on my bed will start slapping or kicking us. We will get up to make some milk. We will then try to pacify them back to sleep and if lucky they continue for another hour. If not successful, we may have to entertain them on the bed playing peek-a-boo or blanket parties regardless how sleepy we are in the morning. Dreadful for me at times because I really hope to sleep for a while more.
7:30am - Time for Cereals
We purchased 2 Ikea baby high chair for $25 each few days ago and happy with it. Simple, neat and most importantly, they are willing to sit on it. Josiah don't really enjoy sitting on high chair because he knows that its time to eat and he don't seem to like food.
But why are they smiling so happily early in the morning?
Its because Uncle Tee, our dear neighbour is making funny faces again. Tee and Jess dote on our babies a lot and always purchase toys and sometimes bring the boys over to their place to play on their piano or simply to crawl around. Sometimes it gives us a bit of much needed break.
But Josiah is not eating? What can I do? I always bring them near to me at the dining table while having breakfast and show them all the expression that I'm enjoying food. Either Felin or Ann will be feeding them at the same time. Occasionally it works and Josiah eat a few more mouthful of porridge or cereal. His feeding on solids is really a headache. He refuses to open his mouth, kept turning his head away and start rubbing his face and eyes to tell us that he doesn't want to eat. Worse will be he will vomit all the food which I suspect that he probably did not swallow fully.
8am - Playtime again and try to feed Josiah the 2nd time for a few more mouthful of cereals
8:30am - Going down for a walk
9:15am - Shower, playtime and milk before napping
10:30am - Late morning nap
While they are napping, we will be busy preparing our own lunch and also their lunch.
12noon - Another sleepy part of the day for me
After 12noon, it will be playtime for about 30 minutes before their porridge lunch is ready. After lunch at about 1pm, it will be playtime again. During playtime, they will be crawling all over the house and we have to "entertain" them or rather to make sure they do not fall or knock their heads. Its fun but its also the part of the day where I usually feel sleepy. They like to crawl to places like under the table or corners with sharp edges, etc... We put safety plugs all round the house but they simply love pulling them out one by one until the double sided tapes are no longer sticky. (Notice the sharp edge at the TV console?) Don't ask me where the safety plug is now. They just pull it out whenever we put it.
They always have new toys to play with and the doll below was given by another or our neighbour. My Dad also never stop buying toys for them too until we have a large bin of toys already. Some without batteries because we got new toys anyway so lazy to load old toys with batteries. Lol...
Today, we tried taking a family selfie but all pictures are blur or they are not looking or they already sitting up, etc... Its so difficult. Below picture are not too well taken but its the best after nearly 30-40 shots... They simply don't want to smile whenever they knew that we are taking photos.
3:45pm - Babies afternoon nap
This is the time we take a break or to do the things we need to do like checking emails, etc... For me, I will sleep for an hour.
5pm - Going out or just a walk downstairs again.
We sometimes bring them down for a walk after their afternoon nap and we may get ready to go nearby like Ikea, Tampines, Whitesand for dinner. Today, we had Sushi Express at Whitesands and the aunties there love them. We tried feed Josiah leftover afternoon porridge in the restaurant and "Wow", he ate more than his usual servings there. After dinner, we walked around and stopped by to have ice-cream where we took the chance to feed them milk.
8:30pm - Ready for bed
Once back home, its shower time and a brief playing or reading time before bed. The boys are not too attentive with my storybooks nowadays. They just want to flip or somersault on the bed or to stand at the end of the bed where there is a bed frame for them to hold.
The day will end with milk before sleep time. Usual sleeping time around 9:30pm to 10pm and usual waking up time around 6am. In between? Depends on luck. Sometimes both sleep through, sometimes both wake up 2 times each, sometimes only one wake up, etc...
I'm going to be dead tomorrow on Sunday because I spent 2 hours transferring photos from phone to laptop and to write this blog post. Its 2:20am already and they will be waking up in a few hours... haha...
