after 9 or 9.30pm is our time, we get to spend it however we want.

so it’s not really hard leh. and this is on a good day, on a busy day, we hv to schedule dr’s appt or playdate (which dont happen very often in Nunavut).

we dont hv a routine when we travel though we try to hv somewhat a routine. right now, i try to schedule my outings during her most alert hours and not clash with nap times. and on top of the schedule we hv, i try to fit in walks to the parks, playdates, mall trips and grocery shopping in the mix.

at first i thought i can’t do it but after a while, it’s so easy, i find we work well with a routine since i know what to expect and she probably know what to expect too which makes everythng a lot simpler and easier.
