My days consist of pretty much the same things:
Levi wants to scare, sneak up on, tickle and tackle Bruce. Bruce has to tie his shoes 5 times before we leave the house to get to the bus stop, and before that, it takes an hour to eat breakfast that should only take 10 minutes! Then, after breakfast they have to pick their own clothes to wear, which momma vetoes their choices and pick for myself with their help. Then, we have to sing the Mickey mouse clubhouse song, at least twice. After that we are off to the bus stop, which is about a 3 minute walk somedays. Levi gets mad if Bruce "beats" him, so he yells at Bruce to hold my hand, so he will be slowed down and then, "beat" Bruce.
After we get there, we have to hug and kiss Bruce and tell him bye 8 times or so, then wave at him (although half of the time he doesn't even look because he is so busy talking). Then we talk to our neighbors as we make our way back to our house. After that, Mickey Mouse is on, and Levi watches that. Then I hear, "no pirates, go away pirates" as he does not like the new Disney show about Pirates! Then, he needs a snack (and yes, it is about 8:45 and he thinks that after eating breakfast just over an hour ago his belly needs a snack)! Then, he needs milk, like the book, if you give a mouse a cookie, he will need some milk and so on and so on. Levi is just like that mouse! Then he helps mommy clean the house, he uses a baby wipe, I use lysol or windex wipes! After our morning is over, we like to play! Build house or play with the jungle. We must take every puzzle apart and put them back together.
After that, I am told by Levi that I need to leave and shut the door, so that is my time to clean! I do my house cleaning and grocery list, and etc. Then, it is time for lunch... And Levi usually doesn't want lunch, so he takes a nap. I finsih cleaning or doing whatever and then when he wakes up, it is time to pick up Bruce! We must check the mail (although half of the time it hasn't come yet) and then after we do that we wait at the bus stop. Levi hugs his favorite neighbor and then he has to yell that the "school bus" is here. Then we wait...
After they argue about who will make it home first, we make it home at last. Then, they play together (until next week which will mean homework time for Bruce), and I start dinner. We eat, we play, then it is time to get ready for bed and read a story. We pray and tuck in, and say goodnight at least 4 times a piece and then we start all over the next day!
