Dear Baobao,
You’ve settled into a consistent routine in the past couple of weeks, which makes life a hell of a lot easier for your mother and I since we know what to expect. As such, we can split chores more easily and also get physically and mentally prepared for the next item on your schedule.
You wake up at 7, have breakfast, a breastfeed, play play play, then nap between 11 and 2 depending on the day, then a snack at 3 followed by dinner at 530, then you go nuts for a bath, demand to brush your teeth, then demand your mom breastfeed you one more time for good measure before going to bed, which is when your mom will kindly lay with you until you’re down (sometimes she falls asleep there herself).
But while we’ve gotten into a good groove, it also means we’re probably getting too comfortable with this predictability. We’ve been down this path before where you’re predictable and then all of a sudden, everything changes. Of course, we know it’s not your fault, but I gotta fault someone!
Love,
Baba
