Just an ordinary day

I've gotten into the habit of just writing about milestones in my family's lives. The big events, the wow moments of life, forgetting that life is made up of many more ordinary moments than extraordinary moments. So today I'm going to tell you how a typical day in the life of the Stokes goes. My son wakes up anywhere between 730 and 815. Usually he lies in his bed talking and singing songs to himself and his animals. I just lay in my bed listening to him and smiling. When he's ready to get up he stands up and starts saying mama and that's my cue.  Out of the bed I hop and into his room I go.  Someday see want out immediately other days he walks back and forth in his crib telling stories and throwing his animals at me.  Once we are out it's time to get down and either read a book or two or go find daddy in the bed.  It's quite a sad day when daddy is at work and not in the bed.  Then it's time for diaper change which is Noah's cue to pitch a fit and then downstairs we go.  First we let the dogs out then it's time for a drink and first breakfast.  First breakfast must be mobile as Noah likes to walk around the house making sure everything is still good.  After first breakfast we have to check out the outside world, then after about thirty minutes or so real breakfast can commence.  Now some days we head to the gym in the morning, others we play inside/outside, or Noah goes in the hiking pack and we take the dogs on a "w" word.  Sometime between 11 -1230 Noah's ready for a cup of milk and a nap.  Naptime is anywhere from an hour to two hours.  Then lunch after nap, now depending on if errands need to be run depends on whether we eat lunch out or at home.  Afternoons consist of playtime or pool time, and of course more reading.  The kid became a book lover while we were in Florida.  Dinner is usually 6 - 630 then bath night time clothes and if Casey's working we hang out and wait for daddy to get home then it's bedtime. So there ya have it a day in the life of our little bug!!
