A day with Gage

There is no typical day in the life of Gage, but Tuesday was close enough to most days that Gage decided to give you the play-by-play, with lots and lots of photos (I apologize if it takes too long to load).

7:40 am “Mom, I’m ready to get up.”

7:50 am.  “Please get me some oatmeal, Mom.”

8:15 am. “Woo Hoo. Play time!” (Do you like the child-prooofed fireplace? Cardboard, duct tape and outdoor seat cushions. Fancy)

9:30 am “I love see my friends at My Gym.  (We try to come three mornings a week for the 45 minute class/free-for-all)

10:30 am  Quick stop at Walgreens while Mom gets cat food, juice and Diet Coke

11:30 am.  We voted (and one of us ran around the church).

11:45 More play time!

12:00 Lunch 🙂  (bread, soy cheese, ground turkey breast, grapes)

12:30-2:30 Nap time.  Yes, I still need to sleep in bed with mom or dad (and sometimes grandma) or else no nap for me!

2:55 pm. After a quick snack of bananas, strawberries, apple and Special K it’s more play time.  This time I’ll stop long enough to read.

4:10 Bob, our tax guy is here to see what the damage is going to be to daddy’s wallet.

5:00 Time to get mail.

5:10 Time to run around the kitchen while mom chases/prepares my dinner for later)

6:15 pm Daddy’s Home!!

7-8:30 pm Dinner out with my friend, E-Chee-ou and his parents. (Obviously, this is not how his friend’s name is spelled, but that’s how we say it.  I know it starts with a y)

8:45 pm I know I’m a big boy now but I still like being held while I have bottle before bed.

9:10 Sleep

    Truthfully, I was exhausted for you by the time you reached 10:30. I’ve forgotten how crazy busy it is being a mom of a young ‘un! Thank you for letting us spend a day with Gage.

    Sweet thing! Wears me out just looking at the photos. Part of Sammy’s daily routine is reaching out for his friend Gage’s smiling photo on the fridge – he always likes to say hello to his little Buckeye buddy :0)

      This is so damn sweet, Molly! I love the thought of Sammy saying hi to Gage 🙂 One day they can go to a Buckeye game together (or maybe Red Sox game, he’ll need someone to teach him about baseball).

    OH I love this post. And the busyness of it all!! Somedays it doesn’t seem like much but boy is it exhausting. I’m guessing you crash at the end of the night just as hard as Gage does. I know I do!

    The picture of the two of you is adorable!

    I’m exhausted just thinking about how busy your days as a stay at home mom are. I am remembering back to when my son was little and now know why I was tired all the time!
