A Day In The Life Of Colby Cakes


A day in the life of an 'almost' 18 month old.


I thought it would be fun to write out Colby's daily schedule and witness how God is growing our baby girl into a toddler.

Our day usually starts around 7am (Colby wakes up earlier, but she plays in her crib for just a little bit)...
7:30-8:30- Wake up, play upstairs with Tristan, play a phonics game on the Kindle, eat breakfast which always includes milk, she does not like any type of juice.  As far as breakfast preferences, Colby is a good breakfast eater.  She likes smoothies, bananas, granola, waffles, oatmeal and pancakes.  She will not eat eggs, french toast, sausage or cinnamon rolls.

8:30-9:30-  Get dressed.  Practice abc's, numbers, shapes, colors, ten commandments and reading with Tristan.

By around 9:30 we are all ready to get out of the house and get our day started.  Three days of the week we go to either the library, the science center, church, the zoo, the trampoline park, the aquarium or a play date with friends.  The other two days of the week Tristan and Colby come with me to the gym and participate in an awesome class called 'Mighty Mites'.  This class is a wonderful 'work-out' class for kids under the age of 6.  Colby loves following around the older toddler girls and learning how to jump on the trampoline.

11:30-12 pm- Lunch time, watching the kids favorite DVD (Leapfrog's 'Building Words'), quiet play and getting ready for nap.  Her lunch meals are hit and miss depending on her appetite for the day.  Sometimes she has a big snack around 10:30 and isn't very hungry for lunch.  She does like pb&J, grilled cheese and pesto pasta.  Above all her favorite snack right now is applesauce and string cheese.

1-3'ishpm- Nap time.  In order to sleep well she must have her blankie and pink bunny.

3-5pm- PLAY as much as we can, out of the house.

5-7pm-Dinner, bath time (every night), and normal end of day things.  Right now Colby loves grilled chicken and squash.

7-8pm- Prayers, singing (usually a Frozen song, lol) and bed time.
