One Nap a Day || Week 2

Last week was hit or miss for the girls and their new napping routine. Some days they napped great while others they did not and were hot messes the remaining of the day. 

This week they have been much better so far and I am learning quickly that there is a secret to this whole napping well thing. 

You wanna know? 

Keep 'em busy!!

I mean like so busy that the minute they sit down they are about to pass out!

This week we have been keeping it real (with normal weekly tasks) and real busy (with fun planned activities and outings)!

Monday: Costco 

Tuesday: Storytime

Wednesday: Play Date

Thursday: Appointment for Me (they are attending too)

Friday: working on something fun to do or a play date

The mornings are crucial for keeping them busy and giving them snacks to power through the original morning nap time. 

Our average schedule this week:

Wake: 7:30/7:45 AM

Breakfast: 8:00 AM

Outing: Out the door by 9:30AM

Snack: Around 10 AM (in the car this week)

Lunch: 11:15/11:30 AM

Nap: 12:00 PM

Snack: 3:00 PM (or when they wake up)

Supper: 5:00 PM

Kensington slept for 3 hours yesterday and Quinn for 2 hours and 50 minutes!!! Hallelujah !!!

 So we celebrated with a little stroller fun. 

I was so excited that Kensington started pushing Quinn.

Quinn didn't want to return the favor though. 

What works best for your little ones? 

Dropping to One Nap with Twins | Day 1

Today these sweet girls didn't wake up until 8:30. This Mama had a chance to shower and eat before her little loves got up for the day. It was marvelous! Why haven't I gotten up before them before? Getting up before the Zabies is one of my goals for the year. 

I NEED to. It would be so much easier to do things such as showering, exercising and

 blogging before the littles wake up especially since we are smack dab in the middle {or beginning} of "Operation Drop to One Nap a Day". 

They woke up in a GREAT mood this morning. 

Sharing plenty of snuggles and kisses with each other and occasionally Mommy, too. 

 My heart swoons for these two!

They played and we stayed very busy doing every activity under the moon, frequently changing rooms in the house to keep things exciting for them and snacking when necessary. 

They did great and never rubbed an eye!

After their ONE nap that was less than what I preferred it to be they were ready for another yummy snack. Lunch was before the only one hour, forty minute nap the took today leaving them extra hungry after nap time. 

Grapes were on the menu today. In their very own bowl!

They both politely sat together eating the juicy, yummy goodness in their bowls with lots of funny faces to share and many signs of "please" and "more." 

Of course you can have more asking so nicely!! 

This picture, seriously, steals my heart. Those faces!!

I just adore them. 

All done! I'm out, Mama! More, Please!

Then a good 'ole switcharoo of seats. 

Just to confuse those who have a hard time telling them a part. 

So far so good. 

They are happy, loving life and playing

 with what toys aren't in time-out {we are knee deep in not sharing}.

Here's to hoping the rest of the day goes as well.
