A Typical Thursday Morning

This is what a typical Thursday morning looks like for us. The only difference this morning is that Tyler sat up on the counter with Vincent (just briefly), and Vincent did not eat waffles or pancakes (he usually requests one or the other for breakfast).

Tyler almost always wakes first. This morning, I nursed him & changed his diaper. During this time, Vincent woke up & David went to attend to him. Today, Vincent woke up soaked...thank goodness for waterproof mattress pads! Once both boys were clean & dry, we went down for breakfast.

Typically, Vincent will get up on the counter and help make his breakfast. Tyler will roam around the kitchen floor playing or tugging at one of our legs. David and I will scramble around trying to get food on the table for the boys & for ourselves. I have recently taught David how to make coffee in the French press, including freshly grinding the beans as needed. He has added this into his morning routine. He makes coffee for the two of us, including adding cream & sugar. So sweet. We can thank Bob & Lucy for teaching David this skill.

Then we sit down to eat together. Vincent usually takes his sweet time eating, while getting up and down for whatever millions of reasons he has. Tyler will plow through his food & scream at us to get him off the highchair. David and I take bites of our food & sip our coffee in between juggling the boys.

David then goes upstairs to finish getting ready for work while I finish up breakfast with the boys. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I also fix a lunch for Vincent to take to school. Once David's ready to go, he kisses us all good-bye and heads out. The boys stand at the door and wave good-bye to him as he walks up the hill towards the bus stop. So cute.

The boys and I play a little bit & then we head to Vincent's preschool. Tyler and I drop him off, then we head home for Tyler's nap. The boys on the counter.
Tylerstarts off with Cheerios & then moves on to some other item for breakfast. Today, he tried feeding himself some yogurt.

The boys bid Daddy farewell.
