Schedule:
7am Lydia is usually the first one down in the morning! She likes to choose yogurt with granola for breakfast.
8am (or before!) School begins. This year she is learning to type and loves it!
11am Lunch time. Lydia likes leftovers and turkey sandwiches.
After lunch she helps clean up, finishes any school work that is left, and reads or plays in her room.
Once everyone is mostly done for the day she heads out to play with the neighbors. They like to draw with chalk, bike, learn dances, and imaginary play.
5:30pm Dinner time. Lydia loves mac and cheese and often doesn't love meat.
7pm She gets ready for bed and reads for about half an hour before turning off her reading light. We love spending our days with Lydia!
Fun things:
- She played soccer this fall and loved being goalie.
- She took dance over the summer and is participating in an outreach dance crew during the school year. Their season is a little shorter than most classes and they perform at nursing homes once a month rather than participating in the studio recital.
- I'd say this is the year that she became a confident swimmer. Things clicked during swim lessons and she moved up several levels.
