Routine

When I pick Quinn up from day care it's important that I follow a routine. He likes/loves to have his chocolate animal crackers in the car on the way home. Our ride is a short one minute, but it's still vital that his snack begin once we're on our way. One day I forgot to bring his snack and he cried all the way home. Sometimes I will pick up cookies at Bread and Chocolate, but yesterday he wasn't interested in them and wanted his standard animal crackers. The dedication he has to our routine is reassuring, but also educates me on how monumental it will be when Quinn and I consider ending our nursing relationship. For Quinn, nursing is safe, comforting, loving and nourishment. It is how he begins and ends each day and how he re-initiates our time together after my work day ends and his time at Jo-Jo's is concluded.
