Daily life

Life has settled into a bit of a routine these days.  We get up around 7:30, eat breakfast and then head out the door to do an activity by 10:00.  We tend to ride Teepee or Jeffree on Mondays at the barn and then walk outside looking for slugs or play with 3 year old Ezra.  Tuesdays was story time at the library but that is now over, so we need another Tuesday morning activity.  Wednesdays we see Tracy and Bed and baby Madison and we tend to head to indoor play centers for the boys; today we went to Koko's Cafe in Port Moody.  Loic had a blast but it is a bit chaotic there and the play structure is massive.  We have also gone to Kinder Cafe in Port Coquitlam and will do Go Bananas here in N.Van soon.  We would like to go to the park on Wednesdays but so far the rain has ruined those plans.  Thursdays we get together with Sara, Kyle and baby Evan and we go to the awesome park on 11th or the aquarium or each others houses to play.  Fridays Loic goes to a drop off play group at the rec centre for two hours and Maelle and I do the grocery shopping.

After the morning fun, we aim to be home around 1:00 for lunch and then, more importantly, nap time for Loic.  He is usually asleep around 2:00 (or later if it is a potty training issue - more on the another day) and up after 1.5-2 hours.  I love that he still naps, I make dinner or do laundry.  

Maelle has started to nap in her crib at this time too although right now she is asleep in her swing and I don't want to move her!  

After nap time we usually have a snack and once Rob comes home, either go to the park or walk the dogs or do errands before dinner.  Then dinner (around 6:30), bath time and bed!!

The dogs are doing well.  Toby had a pain episode last weekend and after two trips to the vet, x-rays and a lot of pain meds seems to be better now?  Who knows what happened to him.  Tyler is trucking along too - he hurt his leg jumping up on the counter to eat food and was then really ill but is fine now. Ah labs, can't keep them down or away from any food!!   Arthur is still on his heart meds but they might need to be increased.
