![]() Although as you can see in the picture above, it's more fruit than yogurt. With so much fresh fruit in season they prefer plain yogurt and fruit for breakfast right now. Kevin got it for her to wear to the games they go to together.īy the time they are done with all of this breakfast is usually ready or close to it. I have to point this out - this is K's only 'logo' shirt. This picture of K's breakfast cracks me up - you can see K's distorted reflection in her spoon! She wanted to be like Emily in 'Emily and Daisy' who wakes up, dresses herself and brushes her hair every morning. K was actually the one to instate this idea. I help C with hers while K loves to do all kinds of interesting styles with hers. Then they go to the bathroom to brush their teeth and hair. This is located right next to their bed and was placed there specifically for their nightgowns (that way they are all ready for our nighttime rhythm). Once they are dressed, they put their slippers back on and hang their nightgowns on their bedtime hook. ![]() But more on the clothing simplification another time. C, especially, used to go through 5 outfits a day and I was losing my mind constantly doing laundry (along with those dishes!). As you can see, we recently simplified their clothing, which was another sanity saver for me. We keep these clothes easily accessible to them on low shelves in their dresser while their undergarments are in drawers below. Our 'bummy clothes' are clothes that the girls can 'just be kids in' and get as messy and stained as they want to, because they are never worn out of the house. They dress in 'bummy clothes' when we are just hanging around the house (which is most days during the summer). They go back to their room to get dressed. It's just enough to hold them over until I can get breakfast on the table.Īfter they have a little something in their bellies they prepare for their day while I am preparing breakfast or tending to Baby L. It consists of their water cups (their water pitcher is filled and waiting for them in the fridge), our homemade granola and some kind of fruit snack ( in the picture above they have unsweetened banana chips). To solve this issue I set up a little food station for them to wake up to. I am just plain old no fun to be around ( perhaps that's why dieting and I don't mix), especially now with my no dairy or soy diet, it seems like I am always hungry! I become so cranky and ornery when I am hungry. This results in quarreling, competing and down right crankiness. No matter how hard I try, I just can not get food in them fast enough to calm them down. The girls are ravenous as soon as their little eyes open in the morning. Our day begins anywhere between 6:30 - 8:30 am, depending on how well the girls slept the night before or things like a dog barking early in the morning (thanks Nara). You can find my previous rhythm posts here. Of course this is slightly different than the school year rhythm, perhaps in September I could share that morning rhythm as well. Our morning time verse (traditional Waldorf)įor my next rhythm post I thought I would share our morning time rhythm.
