A Typical Day In the Life Of...

Faith Jyniece Lee

9:00 a.m. - Wakes up and starts bouncing on the bed yelling, "Momma! Bounce! Bounce!!"

9:30 a.m. - Roams the house while eating toaster waffles and chasing Noel.

10:00 - 11:00 a.m. - Plays outside with Momma and big brother Luke. Usually climbs on every big toy (playhouse and fort), chair, table, and tree.

11:00 a.m. - lunch - Plays in shared room with Bubba. Yesterday I found her standing on top of the dresser trying to get on the top of their t.v. (Yes, they have a t.v. in their room. It only plays movies, and they are only allowed 1 movie a day...I know, I am not "Mother of the Year" - nor do I want to be! :-) I personally just enjoy being sane on most days!) She could probably out-climb a chimp.

Lunch - Sits in chair while eating some semi-healthy food and talking to Bubba nonstop.

12:30 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. - Coloring, finger painting, book reading, quiet time to get ready for nap. She usually has crayon on her face from the "washable" colors and Color Wonder finger paint in her hair. Her favorite books are "Where's My Egg?," "Diggers and Dump Trucks," and "The Big Book of Love" - all are read multiple times a day....Luke can "read" them to her because he literally has the words memorized.

1:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. - Toy pick up. Kid clean up. More climbing on things while Momma isn't looking. Favorite climbing places include these fun destinations: bathroom counter, end tables, backs of couches, and window sills. Can you say Jungle Baby?

1:30 p.m. - 3:45ish - Nap time which includes anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes of talking to Bubba, singing to Bubba, and finally comatose sleep.

3:45 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. - Sweet cuddle time with Momma.

4:00 p.m. - 5:00ish - Snack time. Outside play with Bubba. Activities include: golf, basketball, playing house in the playhouse, climbing fort, sliding, soccer, baseball, and of course, chasing Noel.

5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. - Play time in house while watching a movie as Momma starts dinner. Usually blocks, puzzles, football, or basketball.

6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. - Playtime with Daddy and Bubba. Dinner.

7:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. - Bath time. Snuggle time. Reading Books.

7:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - Bed at some point during this 30 minutes.

Faith is such a joy. She is mischievous, adventurous, sweet, snugly, independent, fun, smart, and extremely strong willed. She is complete nonstop activity. It's been so much fun over the past 16 months to watch her grow into the little person that she is. It's going to be really fun to watch her as a big sister...I think this baby is gonna have 2 mommas instead of just 1!
