Daily Weekday Routine

Jo Ern has a pretty structured daily routine. This girl definitely likes law and order in her life.  And within these main activities, she has her sub-routines.  Like if she goes outside to the garden, she MUST go to a particular wall, stand with her back to it and give a cheeky smile.  Slightly OCD, my little girl. :)

Must stand right here for a while

This is currently her typical weekday routine.  On weekends she doesn't go over to her grandparents' place so the routine will be slightly different.  Also we sometimes go out to the mall or for meals.  These aren't too good for her coz she will then skip naps or meals/milk feeds.

8.00+ Wake up. If Mummy is around, play a bit.  Bring waterbottle to Mummy to drink and then drink from her own waterbottle.  Then grab doggie and pet octopus in each hand and come for milk (yes I still breastfeed a bit... plan to stop soon!). If see only Papa, cry or play a bit depending on mood.

8.30 Have a walk outside. Breakfast of oats with Marmite. Get bath from Papa.

9-10 Go over to Ah Mah and Ah Kong's house. Spend some time messing around in the garden.

10.30 Milk and morning nap. After her milk, she will toddle to the kitchen with the bottle and place the bottle at the sink. Then she will toddle over to the mattress. :) Naps can be long, up to 2 hours. 

12.30 Lunch, normally rice with dishes

3.30 Milk and afternoon nap. Naps can again be up to 2 hours. Sometimes she is not able to sleep. Then will get cranky before bedtime at night.

6+ Quick shower

7-7.30 Come back to own house.

8.00 Dinner. After dinner, have fruits.

10.00 Go up to bedroom. Come over to Mummy with doggie and pet octopus in each hand, and demand milk.  Use Papa's backscratcher as a 'tongkat' and drag it around the room. 

10.30 Bedtime.  Yes, she sleeps through the night.

And in between all these activities, PLAY.  Such is the life of a busy toddler. Heh.

I play with my car first, then read this book, then play with my caterpillar, then read the other book...

  2. I see from the pics that Jo Ern has put on weight. Look more "u bak"! marmite and oats? interesting and sure tasty.I love marmite but never tried with oats.

    How come she eats dinner at ur own hse? Thot that she would be fed at ur Mum's place first before going home. Save on the hassle of feeding her.

  3. MC, yeah this one can sleep. :) It's not always that her naps are 2 hours though, sometimes 1 hour, once in a while cannot sleep.

    Leona, got more 'bak' ah. Goody, heh. Well, we have this agreement where we try not to burden our parents more than we have to. Also the time she gets picked up is usually earlier than dinnertime there.
