What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
I wish I was disciplined enough to have any actual morning “rituals”. Does having a cup of coffee count as a ritual? Because that’s probably the only thing I’m very consistent in doing every morning right now.
So what does the first hour of my day look like?
If my husband is available to help get the girls up, it’s obviously much easier. He’ll get Dalila up, change her diaper and give her a bottle of milk, which she’ll chug down on the couch while watching that annoying Minnie Mouse show that’s on Disney Junior. He’ll then make Olívia a bottle of formula, change her diaper and feed her on the couch while I have a few moments to use the bathroom, drink a cup of coffee and have some breakfast in relative peace.
If my husband has to work early, the first hour of my day is quite hectic. I wake Dalila up while Olívia is still sleeping, change her diaper and give her a bottle of milk which she drinks in her crib while I make a bottle of formula for Olívia and turn the TV on in the living room. I transfer Dalila to the couch in front of the TV, change Olívia’s diaper and sit down on the couch to feed her, while chatting with Dalila about Minnie’s bows or the Howloween cat (not a spelling mistake) from Super Kitties. She usually asks “what is that?” repeatedly and about pretty much anything that comes on TV so we keep our conversation going while I’m feeding her sister. I then burp Olívia and place her in our living room bassinet to go make myself a cup of coffee and something to eat (usually toast, which I have to share with Dalila, who insists “I want pizza” while eying my toast. I guess they’re both sort of made of bread/dough so she’s not totally wrong) sitting back down on the couch to eat.
I know I should be getting up much earlier and getting ready for the day before my kids wake up but, somehow I never manage to be asleep before 1-2 pm, sometimes later. There’s always something to do, something on my mind and I’m not a good sleeper to begin with but I’m working on it.
What’s the first thing you do when you get up?
