Life with 1 at home

Now that Kate and Liam have entered Kindergarten, for the first time EVER, it's just Dani + 1 child at home every day of the week until mid-afternoon. After a few weeks, a little bit of a routine is forming. Here's what the days often look like:

The workout - in the garage
Torin brings trains and cars to the garage and lines them up along the workout mats, asking "Mama, what color is this car?" He has 'his' own mat, but prefers to line things up where Dani works out and gets mad if Dani uses his mat.

Getting ready for the day master bathroom
Torin Plays in the closet with "Guy" - a magnetic dress-up doll. After Dani is out of the shower, he pulls her into the closet to see what Guy is wearing.

Cleaning the house bathrooms;  other rooms
Torin plays with magformers, toting them around wherever Dani goes.

Emptying the dishwasher
Torin: runs over to his play kitchen, dumps any dish that is out in to his dishwasher (i.e. taking the sink out and dumping thing below)

Vacuuming
Torin follows Dani around yelling over the vacuum, "Mom, I need to talk to you!!!"

Getting a haircut (with Tamara in the kitchen)
Torin brings all dishes and food over to the kitchen table and waits until Dani is done, at which point, they eat together before doing anything else

Any time he's not getting enough attention
Torin: "Mom, I need to do peepee"

Dani is loving having just 1 partner to run errands with and to run with, and Torin is enjoying having his mama all to himself!
