Trying to Work the Schedule with my Little Ones

Usually I leave our older boys' doctor check ups feeling overwhelmed. I come away with a list of well intentioned "try-to's" that peter out a few weeks later. Last week the doctor's advice included: 1. have one-on-one time with your boys because that's super important for twins 2. try to work on some fine motor skills with Caleb by playing Board Games and other finger activities 3. keep up the physical activity with all my kids and try to sign Caleb up for swim lessons.

I'm hoping this year I'll take the advice into stride by turning it into habits instead of one-month wonders. I was surprised to find myself turning to my daily routine for help; like making a necklace I'm trying to arrange the beads I want on the string of our day. I've started to include a nanny column for the days that our housekeeper/nanny is in the house, and a column for Ian.

I can't say enough about the help I'm finding from this Steady Days routine for little kids. I'm trying to leave us plenty of time to do everything, but we still often fall behind schedule. Still, even if I schedule in a half hour for fine motor skills and we only wind up doing 5 minutes, consistently, it's still an improvement on where we at before. Just being able to see my day on one page with all the spots there are to fit in the things my kids need and I need (all simplified) is such a relief!

The Steady Days schedule sounds great. Will you post a sample day?

Also, where did you guys move?

I will post a sample, except I don't know if anyone else can read my handwriting. I'll try to find a neat day.
