We are a family of 5, soon to be 6. We have an energetic 6 year old, a sensitive souled 3 year old, and a family clingy 21 month old. They have not been cared for by strangers much as I am a stay at home mom.
Play with the kiddos and spend the day with them! We have plenty of toys and 2 small playgrounds in our apartment complex you can go to to let out some energy. Feed them pre determined easy meals and snack, put them down for nap (if the older 2 allow it, they sometimes skip), and potentially put them down for bed. My husband will be home between 6 and 8 most likely, though some flexibility there is greatly appreciated as I am having a C-Section and he will potentially be in the NICU with baby.
Lunch at 11-11:30
Nap after lunch at 12-12:30
Snack at 2 or when they wake, whichever is later.
Dinner is around 5-5:30
Bedtime is 7 for the 21 month old and 8 for the 3 and 6 year old unless the skip nap, then they all go down together at 7.
