    My day today begins with my daughter and son in law dropping off my 4 year old granddaughter, and her two dogs. Unusual day. They are driving to another state to pick up a car they are buying. So I have a 4 year old, two dogs, in addition to my four cats.

    Around 9:30, I put on an episode of Reading Rainbow.

    At 10:00 we switch to an interview my son wants to watch and my granddaughter gets my big fluffy bathmat out of my bathroom and sits on it with one of her books. The big dog lies down with her.

    She enjoys doing this for an hour. I give her a snack of dry roasted peanuts.

    At 11:15, she’s changed into her Princess dress, complete with crown and dancing shoes. We will shortly read another chapter in her chapter book, from A to Z Mysteries. I try to read to her several times a week. Chapter books instead of picture books. She loves being read to.

    Between 12 and 12:30 we will have a nutritious lunch, after which she still takes a substantial nap.

    If the weather is nice, after nap we go to one of our local parks and she gets some exercise. Then home for another snack. Usually mom and dad pick her up between 5:30 and 6, but today will be different. They may return quite late so she’ll have supper with us, and put on her pyjamas.

    Her uncle still lives at home because he is disabled like I am so he is my helper. My husband lives in another city during the week and only comes home on the weekends.

    So far its working for us!

      Hi Erin!

      Thank you so much for sharing your day in the life with us! I love your photography, such beautiful pictures. Your son’s woodworking is also very well done. I love your daughter’s drawings, she is very talented. I can imagine the adjustment of everyone working in the same space is difficult, but it seems that you and your family are treasuring this time together. :). I also am apart of the Introvert Moms community, and it is so fun to hear you have been enjoying are latest read. I appreciate you taking the time to share with us.

      Thank you again!

      Thank you for sharing your day! I only have one child (15) at home at the moment. It is interesting how the days have changed. I still haven’t written my day in the life yet this as it has seemed so boring compared to years past. However, you have inspired me to do it. 🙂
