The Berger Schedule

With two little ones the exact same age things at the Berger house can be interesting.  Jeff gets up with them every morning at 5am. They won’t let him set them down, they follow Jeff around the house, they both need to be changed (sometimes twice), and he prepares breakfast #1 for them (raisins, craisins, a cracker- a light meal). An hour and 45 minutes later I come down after getting ready, and Jeff goes up to shower while I prepare breakfast #2 for Chase and Owen.  This is typically left over fruit and cereal-which they love.  The cereal is intended to feed the 3 of us, but it typically just feeds the two of them!  I try to get them cleaned up before they throw the unwanted food on the floor.   20-30 minutes later Jeff comes back down, if I haven’t gotten them dressed already, Jeff dresses the boys with me and he inhales a bowl of cereal while I wash trays and cups.  Typically there is a boy in Jeff’s lap while the other boy whines at my feet while I wash dishes.  We put their coats and shoes on, and we buckle them in the car. I leave with the boys, and while Jeff trips over all the scattered toys, he picks up the 3 pounds of food that they threw on the floor.  This is just the morning.

On a different note-the boys STILL love to suck their thumbs. Chase has been into his more in the past few weeks than ever before.
