#adayinthelife Thursday 19 January

Jan 20, 2012 by cafebebemama

Early this morning, a fellow blogger of distinction began Tweeting #adayinthelife with rather dull invigorating tweets about his day. I suggested that we should start a trend and see who else wanted to join us. As far as I know, Tim & I were the only bloggers to take up the challenge. Aren’t we trend setters? Anyhoo, here’s #adayinthelife Thursday 19 January for the Cafe Bebe family. Hold onto your hats!

8:00am- Enjoying a cuddle with Sam. Contemplating the day ahead with enthusiasm lacking.

8:38am- Ella, ready for school, is doing her “homework” while watching Lazy Town. Just like her mother…

8:45am- Another cup of tea, gone cold, without finishing it. Such is the curse of motherhood.

9:10am- Time for the school run for Ella. Doesn’t she look cheerful?

10:00am- Looking for happiness in the pages of my cookbooks. Several recipes look brilliant. Unfortunately I seem to be missing some key ingredients!

10:30am- Giving Sam a bit of “space” by letting him play in the bouncy chair. This lasts approximately 8 minutes.

10:50am- Elevenses for an 8 week old! Everyone raise a bottle for Baby Sam who is today, 2 months old. How did that happen?

11:30am- Giving gNappies a go. Aren’t they cute?

11:45am- The gNappies are prepared for use today. The first nappy change 4 hours later is surprisingly positive. The poopy nappy change approximately 30 minutes after that is less thrilling!

12:15pm- An attempt at a nap for Sam in his cot in his room. Partial swaddling is in place (he wrangles his arms out no matter what!), positioning is set and Ewan the Sheep is set to white noise. The nap lasts altogether about an hour and 10 minutes but Sam doesn’t sleep the entire time. I take approximately 8 trips up and down the stairs to settle and calm him. Fun times!

1:45pm- More bouncy chair time…Sam looks rather serious.

3:45pm- Having collected Ella from school, there’s a bit of time for a cuddle, another bottle and then we’re off to Nanny and Grandad’s for dinner.

And thus, our #adayinthelife comes to an end…in pictures anyway. So how was your Thursday? If you feel like joining in next week and I can remember, try to join in on #adayinthelife next week. Let’s hope your day was a bit more exciting than ours!
