Photo journal

My expecting club board is all about fun baby stuff. One section is called SCRAPBOOKING and gave me the idea of doing a photo journal of one day. I find it very reassuring to see other photo journals in which moms go through the same Wake, Eat, Diaper change routines as I do.

So, here is my homage to the photo journal. Unfortunately I gave up around 3pm when Frost came home from school:

Half of Friday in the Life of Wren
Wren wakes up around 7am but is really still sleepy. I put him in the swinging chair while I make Frost's breakfast, school lunch and my coffee. He is pretty happy in the swing and sometimes goes to sleep again. He likes to watch Frost who gets to watch TV.

Here he is in the swing. After I have made breakfast and all that jazz we do diaper change.









The Diaper change area is actually a bed but the changing table sits next to it, unused. Before Wren was born we didn't know if and when he would come home from hospital so we prepared a guest room for my mother rather than a nursery. As you can see the nursery is still in process:

After diaper change we went outside to pick some flowers for Big Brother Frost. He wanted to take them to school to give to his kindergarten teacher who was leaving. Friday was her last day of school. It was pretty cold so I had my boots on. Wren had barefeet. Bad baby mother.







Then it was tummy time. Wren doesn't much like tummy time on the floor but this couch has a bit of an angle to it so he can look out and enjoy the view.





When Frost went to school with the carpool Wren had his first nap. He sleeps in a wedge supplied by the hospital for babies with reflux. We are not sure he has reflux anymore but he is so used to sleeping in the wedge that we are not messing with it just now. He loves that mobile too but I only turn it on at playtime.




After nap and getting another diaper change we head off to the library. Its around 11am already and I have done nothing except eat, dress and clean teeth. Oh, and check the boards.








Wren has another diaper change and some playtime on the diaper-change bed. Much of our best interaction happens on the bed because he is looking at my from the wedge and is always happy there. Here he is reading Goodnight Moon.



There was another nap somewhere then it was time to go and fetch Frost from school. He was quite excited to be fetched instead of riding in the carpool.
