Back to Routine

Jeff and I still have the lingering effects of the end-of-summer, back-to-school cold. Because it had hit our household pretty hard, much of our routine was shoved aside in exchange for rest. For Zane this meant no tummy time, no gait trainer, no practice with sitting and standing. During his occupational and physical therapy sessions yesterday, the regression was evident.

So starting today, we’re getting back to it. Not only for Zane, but for the rest of us, as well. Jeff and I have ignored exercise (who wants to hike or get winded while enduring an upper respiratory infection?). However, we can both feel—and see—the effects. And with Justin fully enmeshed in his new school and after-school schedules, he has to get into a routine, too. This past week, he started both soccer and acting. Normally a very pleasant child, Justin has had more than his share of cranky moments this past week.

So now that we’re all feeling better, it’s time to return to that rigorous schedule of ours. Though it was less than desirable to be sick, it was kind of nice to have a bit of a break from the hectic-ness of our life for a week or two. Back to the craziness :-)
