Today is the first day of Academy. How does the day look from an instructor's perspective? Well, I would say, mine doesn't look normal, but what is normal? You see, I am a mom. I am a nursing mom. I have an infant. Add this: We are in the middle of moving to Florida, so we are staying with friends in order for me to be able to teach this week. I love this camp so much, we delayed our move in order for me to be here!
Schedule:
Wake at 6:15 to baby talk. Baby goes back to sleep.

Do some stretches and strength exercises. It is pouring down rain outside, so no run.
Six year old Amelia wakes up and reminds me that she has a feather that she wants to show me and it is in the pocket of Daddy's pants. She starts hunting pants.
Six month old William wakes up. Feeding time.
Put William on the floor to make coffee.
