Our Routine - Two Kids
We're getting into the swing of things with our routine. Here is how it works for us with both kids' schedules. For times when Harper's not quite ready for a nap and not liking her chair, I've been using a sling to carry her around. This is extremely helpful when I want to get a few things done and I can't be in the same room with her and Z (We are still on high alert with Z's interaction with Harper. He is learning, but still not 100% obedient about not touching her faces- eyes especially- and not putting things in her mouth, like food he wants to share or her pacifier).
