It seems so long ago that we were trying to get Will into a routine of some description, and I would do anything to try to get him to sleep at allotted times. Now our lives are lived in chunks of time, marked out (in my case) by either Radio 2 or the TV. A typical day goes like this:
06.15 – Will wakes up/the alarm goes off. Eddie and Louisa ignore both
06.30 – Eddie jumps in the shower before changing Will. Lou feeds Molly and gets Will’s milk ready
07.00 – Eddie grabs breakfast while Will has a roll on the bed
07.30 – Eddie goes to work, Wogan comes on, Will and Louisa have breakfast together
08.00 – Will is topped, tailed and dressed and then plays for an hour downstairs
09.00 – Naptime
10.00 – Drink and a snack for Will before we head out for a walk (if the weather’s nice)
11.30 – Lunch
12.30 – Naptime/Jeremy Vine. Louisa has lunch and rants at the radio (depending on the topic)
14.30 – Milk and a snack/Steve Wright (non-stop Oldies usually)
17.00 – Supper
18.00 – Bath/story
18.30 – Milk/Hollyoaks
18.45 – Hollyoaks ad break and Will cleans his teeth and goes to bed
18.50 – Louisa collapses in front of the second half
19.00 – Switch to 210/get dinner on/wait for Eddie to come home
It’s not what you’d call glamorous – but it works!
