7:15am I fix Azul's food, start load of cloth diapers, text Matt about dinner, get Azul up and let him outside.

7:30am Get Levi up (I never get him up before 7:30a, he usually just plays until I get him up. Most days he sleeps til 7:30 anyways) Change his diaper, Fix him bfast (Whole Wheat Blueberry Waffle, blueberries, and s few reese's puffs) Levi calls waffles (wawulls) =) As I fix bfast, Levi busies himself filling up cups with ice and gives Azul his treat (he LOVES to do this). We sit down for breakfast together and watch The Cat in the Hat.
