Here.

Do you have routines for your kids? Care to share? Does it really help?

I think I need to read the answers of mommies here because I still need to establish a very good schedule for the two kids (different age groups).

Let’s see:

5AM - 7AM: Mommy Wake Up Time. Me Time. Surf Time. Blog Time. If you want to chikka me, chikka me now :).

9AM: The kids wake up. I usually let them linger in bed for a couple of minutes, giving Martha a new dede. This is also the time usually assignments pour in so Im a bad Mommy I let them watch DVDs first

10AM: Breakfast. I let them eat rice.

Break - usually play. I take out clothes I will be letting them use for the day. Mato gets to pick his. I also discuss lunch with the maid.

12NN Lunch.

After lunch, I give Martha a bath. We dont have a tub yet but when get a house of our own, that would be a requirement. They like to walk in tubs!) Matthew follows. Then a round of DVD fest begins again. Because this is prelude to sleeping time.

1PM - 4PM Nap time. This is hard for me. I have weaned Martha for her chotchot ever since I resigned and I find it hard to lull her to sleep without a mega crying “AYAW” fest ensuing.

5PM Snack time. I let Matthew pick what he wants.

Random play. I usually let them watch Coffee Prince with me.

7PM Dinner Time.

After dinner, wash up time, put them into jammies. Watch Dyesebel.

9:30PM We try to sleep. But this becomes art time. Matthew practices his writing, reads, sings. Martha doodles, reads books. This extends until sleep time.

11PM - 12MN Sleep time. Im still trying to enforce a rule to lights out but the kids throw tantrums - very LOUD, nakakahiya sa kapitbahay tantrums - so I let them be. As Ive said, Im still trying to find a lulling way to replace the chot chot.
