To question how our routine is going to work when everything opens back up?

I'm sitting here playing in the living room with my 10 month old daughter. We've been for our morning walk at our normal time, she's had her afternoon nap in her cot at her normal time and now we are getting ready to eat dinner at her normal time before daddy finishes work and then the evening routine starts. This has been her life and she's known nothing else...

I was just thinking to myself how is she going to cope when we start going to meet family a long distance away, or the weddings we've got planned later in the year, or if we want a day trip to the zoo??

I'm a first time mom, I've no idea how we adapt to naps on the move and meal times out and worst of all evenings spent away from home and her not going to bed at a set time!

In the nicest possible way, you don't go to class to "make memories".

You go because you are bored and you need to get out of the house, and it seems the easiest to do with a baby. The baby doesn't care. You won't remember most of them, if any at all.

It's just as nice to spend as long as possible outside and have a chill out hour at home together.

Oh yeah I totally didn't mean to put them both together!! I meant making memories in regards to visiting the beach, visiting family members for the first time! Under no illusion that baby classes are more for mothers to socialise

She’ll adapt, just make sure meal times and nap times are the same, and that she still sees plenty of you both, and she’ll be fine.
