Activity Schedules

We don't follow this exactly every day - when we have good days we usually do half of the schedule and the other half is more spontaneous - but I thought it would be interesting to post the kids' daily activities at this age. Some of these activities are pretty set in stone: wake-up, meal times, naps, read-aloud, learning activities, and bedtime are solid.
