a day in the life of Rigg

7:00- 7:30
Wake up, jibber-jabber while waiting for mama or daddy to get him out of bed. Knock loudly at door if mama or daddy take too long. Also yell for the dog 1-7 times intermittently.

7:30ish
Breakfast: sippy of milk, mixed berry cereal bar and a banana

7:34
Yell "baby" 3-4 times while pointing at the baby

7:37
stop eating, leave 2-5 bites of everything, as if just taste testing all food...finish nothing

throw 2-3 balls behind the TV

hallelujah!

10:00-11:00
climb up and down off the sofa, snack in hand, proclaiming "Elmo"

I always say if everyone survives till 8 then it has been a good day. I do love reading how other people's days go. Poor Ryder, I do hope his eyes will be okay:)

Hi Cari! I read your blog but have never commented... My son is a few months behind Rigg so I loved reading about his day, so typical. Love your commentary too - you are a great mom.
