Make yourself at home
Help yourself to anything in the pantry or the fridge. There are leftovers if you want dinner. Watch whatever you want.
We should be home around 9pm. Text us if you have any questions or can't find something.
Luke
Food
Dinner anytime between 5:30 and 6:30pm. Whatever timing works for you.
small bowl of Mexican rice
temperature before serving.
He doesn't have to finish everything, but try to get as much into him as you can so he goes to bed with a full belly.
Snacks
The pantry has puffs, graham crackers, and cheddar bunnies. All fine to give him.
Food safety
- Break graham crackers and granola bars into small pieces he can't choke on.
- No grapes.
- Strap him into the high chair. He tries to crawl out.
- Stay with him while he eats.
If you're not sure whether something is okay to give him, or whether a piece is small enough, text us first.
Bedtime
Start around 6:45-7pm. No bath tonight.
- Take him up to his room.
- Change his diaper.
- Put him in his pjs and sleep sack.
- Read him a story, if you want to.
- Grab the bottle of milk from the fridge.
- Put him in his crib with the bottle. He falls asleep on his own.
- His sound machine turns on by itself. Turn the fan on too.
After he's down
Put Red's food and water bowls back on the floor so Red can get to them.
If he wakes up
- Try giving him more milk in his bottle.
- Leave the room and shut the door.
- If he keeps crying, text us. We'll tell you whether to take him out of his crib.
If he's fussy
He's usually hungry, needs a diaper change, or is getting tired. Work through those three first.
Watch closely
The open kitchen door and the pool
If the kitchen door is open for Red, do not let Luke out of your sight. He will crawl straight out and head for the pool.
While Luke is awake, the easiest thing is to keep the door shut and watch for Red to come back to it. Let him in when he does.
Stairs
He can crawl up but doesn't know how to come down. Don't leave him near them.
Couch and ottoman
He can usually get himself down, but he's still clumsy. Keep an eye on him.
High chair
Strap him in. He tries to crawl out.
Red's food and water
He loves getting into it. The bowls sit up on the counter while he's awake. Put them back down once he's asleep.
Red
He won't need much
Red doesn't need anything from you tonight.
He might ask to go out in the backyard. That's fine.
If he's out playing and Luke is asleep, leave the kitchen door open so Red can come back in when he wants.
While Luke is awake, keep the door shut and watch for Red to come back to it. See the pool warning on the Luke tab.
Our basement tenants
They live downstairs and have two small dogs.
If their dogs are out in the backyard, you can let Red out to play with them.
If he's in the way
Put him in our room and shut the door. He's usually pretty chill, so you probably won't need to.
His bowls
They stay on the counter while Luke is awake. Put them back on the floor once Luke is asleep.
