27 Routine Experimentation--The Sequel

Back in August, I recorded an episode called Routine Experimentation, where I talked about several of the experiments I was conducting in my home laboratory with my five little guinea pigs (to switch to another animal analogy). This is actually one of my favorite things about motherhood--troubleshooting problem areas and figuring out creative solutions. I like to play the role of mad scientist.

Of course a lot has changed since last August, as tends to happen where kids are involved, so I thought it was time for an update on how those experiments fared, and to tell you about the new experiments I'm rolling out.

I'll first cover our three regular daily routines: morning, afternoon, and bedtime, and then talk about a few other experiments like allowance, housekeeping, and exercise.
