Getting Tian

6: 00 Alarm
Coffee, talk, Lorraine gets ready for school

7:00 AM Lorraine leaves for school

somewhere between 7:15 to 8:00 Tian starts talking and I go get her


uncover the bird cage


give the dogs treats


change diaper


make oatmeal


feed the baby












somewhere between 8:45 and 9:45 Tian plays by herself (hopefully) and I do email, read the NY-Times on the web, do the dishes and some cleaning up. If I have anytime I pay bills, write up this blog, download pictures from the camera--and wish i could do some writing on the book.












somewhere between 8:45 and 9:45, today 9:30, she seeks me out and crawls to find me--today, three yards. We then practice walking, read books, shake our tambourines and dance--Until she starts whining.




I then fix her bottle, change her diaper and put her down for a nap. Today I put her down at 11AM, I type this up and then do a quick pickup and get her food ready for lunch. Now I take my shower and get dressed.





Soon I hear her stirring and talking to herself so I get her and change her diaper.


Then I feed her lunch




We get dressed


Play


Then go on a little outing with the dogs down to the creek, just waiting until Mommy gets home


Yippee! Mommy get home, so Dad runs to the grocery store to get a couple of items for supper.




I hurry back, cook, and put dinner on the table


I then clean up while Mommy gives the baby a bath and a bottle and puts her to bed.

Dad goes to bed, too. 8PM
