Owning a Suburban now makes sense to me.

I prepared a rough schedule for mom & dad {who are babysitting Van} and I thought it might be interesting to post to look back on. So here it is:

- 6:30 am—7:00 am—Van gets up; 6 oz. bottle {play}

-9:15 am—4 oz. Bottle; book; down for nap

-10:30 am—6 oz. Bottle {play}

-12:45 pm—4 oz. Bottle; book; down for nap

-3:00 pm—6 oz. Bottle {go for walk}

-5:15 pm—4 oz. Bottle; book {maaaaybe short nap}

-6:00 pm—Attempt Oatmeal

-6:15 pm—Bath

-6:30 pm—6 oz. Bottle; book

-6:45-7:00 pm—Bed
