It's been a while since I've updated you all on our family. So much has happened in the past two years! Beth and Valerie were finally potty trained, and Beth went back to live with her father, my brother Robert. Beth is almost, 19 years old, and Valerie is almost 6.
In January of last year, Vinny and I welcomed our newest addition, Vivian. She's now over three months old and growing up so fast! We also adopted a teenage girl named Katie and renamed her Vanessa. Vanessa is 14 years old and has been such a wonderful addition to our family. We've decided to treat Vivian and Vanessa as twins and have them baptized together with the other infants.
Vivian and Vanessa are both still in diapers, but that's no problem for me. After all, I'm used to having two in diapers with Valerie and Beth. Changing them is just a part of my daily routine, and it doesn't bother me one bit. I'm just happy to have two beautiful girls to take care of and love.
As for their daily routines, it's a bit more complicated with two little ones. Here's what a typical day looks like:
7:00 am – Wake up, diaper change and dressing for Vivian and Vanessa 7:15 am – Wake up Valerie, diaper check and dressing 7:30 am – Breakfast 8:00 am – Tummy time for Vivian and Vanessa, Valerie has free play 9:00 am – Nap time for Vivian and Vanessa 9:30 am – Drop Valerie at preschool 10:30 am – Breastfeeding and burping for Vivian and Vanessa 11:00 am – Outside time (weather permitting) 11:30 am – Read aloud 12:00 pm – Lunch 12:30 pm – Clean up lunch, play time 1:00 pm – Nap time for Vivian and Vanessa 2:00 pm – Diaper change, Breastfeeding and burping for Vivian and Vanessa 2:30 pm – Pick up Valerie 3:00 pm – Screen time/Free play in the living room 4:00 pm – Read aloud for all three girls 4:30 pm – Free play/Dinner prep 5:30 pm – Dinner 6:15 pm – Bath time for Vivian and Vanessa 6:45 pm – Bath time for Valerie 7:15 pm – Quiet time in nursery for Vivian and Vanessa 7:30 pm – Bedtime breastfeeding for Vivian and Vanessa 8:00 pm – Bedtime for Vivian and Vanessa 8:30 pm – Bedtime for Valerie, with overnight diaper just in case
