Foot in Mouth!

Remember yesterday when I was talking about my schedule.  Oh yeah I love my schedule.  It makes the day go by so smoothly.  I know what I am going to be doing at all hours of the day.   Everything was going just as planned for the day.  I went to put both kiddies down for a nap this afternoon.  Jackson fell asleep right away!!

 Can't say so much for Bailey.  She cried when I rocked her for a minute, she cried when I layed her down, she cried, and cried.  She cried so loud that she woke Jackson up all the way downstairs.  So now I have two screaming babies...wonderful!  I go downstairs rock Jackson for a minute and then lay him back down...he is still crying.  Back upstairs to rock Bailey for a minute and lay her down...she is still crying.  They both lay there and cry and feed off of each others cries.  Needless to say Jackson got a 20 minute nap and Bailey got 0!  I guess thats what I get for saying how I stick to schedule. 
FOOT IN MOUTH HUH??

Don't mess with my schedule!

I had a doctors appointment yesterday and had to have my mom come babysit.  Not only did she have to watch Bailey, but Jackson was here too.  That was the first time since Bailey was a little baby I had left her during the day with my mom or anyone besides Jason.  She obviously was really excited. I put Bailey down for a nap before I left because she hadn't one and it would have been too late once I got home to put her down.  Well to my surprise and my mom she ended up sleeping til after I got home aka about a 3 hour nap.  My mom isn't really around Jackson that much except if she stops by occasionally during the day.  So I was telling her everything she needed to know about our schedule and I kind of got exhausted thinking of how "scheduley" (totally made that word up) I am.  So I thought I would let ya know how a normal day goes for us in the "Brouse House." 

• Anywhere between 6 and 7:30 Bailey gets up and then I drag my butt outta bed.  (If she gets up early we watch tv and play for a bit.)
• 7:30 we eat breakfast
• 8:00 Jackson gets here
• 8:15-9:30ish we play downstairs and watch the news
• 9:30ish go upstairs and give Jackson a bottle and lay him down for a nap/Bailey and I go back downstairs and play until he wakes up
• 11ish or whenever he wakes up we go back upstairs and play
• 11:30ish we have lunch and then play til naptime
• 12:30ish I give Jackson a bottle and take him downstairs to lay him down/come back upstairs and lay Bailey down
• Jackson usually wakes up about 1:30 or 2 we play downstairs until Bailey wakes up
• Bailey wakes up about 2:30 or 3/ Jackson and I go upstairs then
• 3ish We play upstairs and I get Jackson's things together
• His mom comes about 3:45
• I start making dinner around 4ish (That is if I make dinner)
• 5ish we eat dinner
• Play until 7
• 7 is bathtime then play a little
• 8 is bedtime for Bailey
• Jason and I watch tv and hang out til 11 and go to bed!

This is my life every single day and I swear it goes like this give or take 30 minutes or so.  I get so aggravated when something doesn't go the right way or something gets me off schedule.  It seems like a pretty easy schedule, which it is at times.  There are just so many details in between like:

• We have 2 sets of baby monitors for each kid.  Jackson naps in the pack-n-play downstairs so when I lay Bailey down I have to make sure the downstairs monitor is off or she will wake Jackson up and vice-versa.
• I also have to make sure I turn them back on or I won't hear them crying when they wake up.
• Did I mention I need to shower??? Usually happens when Bailey goes to bed at night. Sometimes when Jackson takes a morning nap I can.  I dont trust both of them together in the family room while I shower.
• The dogs go in and out about a million times a day.
• I try to keep the kitchen clean during the day. 
• I vacuum up dog hair constantly.
• Did I mention they need their diapers changed?  Yeah that gets mixed in there too!

I know everyone has days just like this, but thought I would share with you so you can keep track of what I am doing at all hours of the days.  Do you have a schedule or just go with the flow?

Right now I am sleepy, very sleepy.  Both kiddies are sleeping and hopefully I will be too!  So instead of me boring you with everything thats not going on in my life.  Heres a few more practice photos.

First day of work.

Well in case you didn't know. I started babysitting for a friend of mine. She is a school teacher and just started back today. Lets just say today was very interesting. At first I thought Bailey would be kinda jealous because she has had my individed attention at all times for the past 15 months. Then I thought wow what have I gotten myself into I am going to have to start carrying her everywhere because she will think she's a baby. WRONG!!!! She loves this baby. She didn't care what I was doing with Jackson (the baby obviously). Well as soon as he got here he needed a diaper change...go change the diaper. Did Bailey follow??? NO! She gets in the carseat and relaxes. We get the boppy out for Jackson to sit in. She has to sit in it first. Then she shares it with him. Jackson lays on the floor so does she! She did put his paci in her mouth a few times. (She only gets hers a naptime and bedtime so she was excited) She also tryed to snatch the bottle but only once maybe twice. She wasn't jealous at all. She thought he was one of her babydolls I guess. She stayed by his side and gave hugs and kisses and had to destroy his diaper bag. Why??? Hello shes my child...shes nosy!!! I keep saying this is helping me learn to have 2 children without the sleepless nights. Don't take that the wrong way...no baby #2 anytime soon. Here are a few pictures of today and the past week. By the way Jackson is one of the cutest baby boys ever! Enjoy.

Oh yeah one thing Bailey has learned in the past week is to dip her food in ketchup. I showed her one time and she can do it just like an adult. She loves it and when she has used it all she points towards the bottle and wants more. It is very cute!! Click on pictures below!!!

First day on the JOB!!
