Hour 22 7:00-8:00 AM

I corral Brooke into my bedroom until 7:09 when Luke comes in and asks to play playstation. Shouldn’t you have breakfast first? Anyway – Max is stirring around 7:18 so Brooke and I run in to do the diaper change thing. It actually turns into the Toddler Decathlon with Max and Brooke playing jump on the bed, peek-a-boo, jump off the bed, wrestle under the blanket, etc. Cute. And I’m happy that they are playing together so instead of trying to make Max sit still for a diaper change – I head down to make a nutritious breakfast of toast, Turkey Bacon, and a Banana.

As I am getting the toast started the babies decide to continue their decathlon downstairs on the indoor track. Max is pushing around the play shopping cart while Brooke is chasing him pulling the pink rolling basket. After their second lap I notice that Brooke has yesterday morning’s milk cup sloshing around in the basket leaking everywhere. I catch her on the third lap and grab the basket. When Max sees the cup he goes into a fit to get it – so I quickly poor it out as well as the basket. A quick basket rinse and dry and they can continue the competition. Except that Max is still freaking out about not having the milk. So I poor them each a small glass of milk for their breakfast and put it on the table and head back over to butter the cold toast and de-crust it. I then split the banana and pull the bacon out of the microwave. Back in control now…so I grab Max to quickly change him.

That kid needs to be an MMA fighter. Because no matter how well pinned I have him – he will not submit. As I am trying to get Max to tap-out, Brooke comes strolling by with her pink basket. This time the basket is filled with the milk cups from the table. What on EARTH! After another basket rinse and mopping up the trail of leaked milk. Dad pulled the ripcord and I am now making it rain cookie crisp all over the coffee table and turned on Timmy Time. They are on their sixth helping now as I type – Don’t judge me! Good thing there is a baby sitter coming over for nap time cause while I do basketball. The bacon, toast, and banana are all still uneaten. On to hour three...
