It's 6.37 in the morning.

That's about how well my eyes focus when I get up.

What time do you get up?

I was recently at a YouTube conference where someone did a presentation on my morning routine.

Different people across the world just taking their camera through their morning, showing people what their life is like, and I thought, this is fascinating.

I loved seeing other cultures, seeing what people did, how they lived.

Just a normal day.

So I decided today, I'm going to do the same.

I'm going to show you my morning routine.

What is my morning like?

And of course, we'll turn it into an English lesson along the way.

I have a baby.

What do you think the first thing I do every morning is?

The first thing is always Nurse Sawyer.

He's a little too distracted by the camera to nurse right now.

Nurse.

This word has several different meanings.

You can nurse a baby, you can nurse a sick person, you can nurse a cold, you can even nurse a beer.

We'll go over all of these meanings.

First, I want to say the verb breastfeed can be used interchangeably with this term, and it doesn't mean anything else, so that can be another option.

The first thing I do every morning is breastfeed my baby.

Notice that I'm not saying the T here, that's common.

When the T comes between two consonants, we often drop it.

Breastfeed.

Straight from the S sound into the F sound.

Breastfeed.

Now let's talk about all those different meanings.

If we use this word as a noun, it's somebody who's been trained as a nurse.

To care for the sick, it's an occupation.

My aunt is a surgical nurse.

As a verb, like I used it, it can mean to breastfeed, to feed a baby.

It can also be used to describe caring for someone who's sick.

She nursed him back to health.

It can be used to describe taking care of an ailment.

I've been nursing a cold for two weeks.

That means I'm taking throat lozenges for it, drinking lots of tea, trying to get better.

We also use it to talk about a drink, usually an alcoholic one, that we're drinking very slowly.

Just taking a sip every once in a while.

Rachel, can I get you a drink?

No thanks, I'm still nursing this beer.

This is something new.

This is different from our routine.

Looking at a camera.

One of the first things I try to do every day is make the bed, which I used to never do.

But it's like one tiny thing I can do to create a little bit of organization in a life

that is otherwise very chaotic right now.

Chaotic.

Chaos.

Here the CH makes a hard K sound.

It's also common to make a CH sound like in chest, ch, or an SH sound like in Chicago, sh.

CH makes a K in choir, echo, chemistry, anchor, stomach, orchestra, and many others.

You can't tell how a CH should be pronounced just by looking at it.

You have to know word by word.

This is why spelling and pronunciation is so tricky in English.

Then I head downstairs to have breakfast with Stoney and David.

I don't feel like cereal so I'm going to make an egg.

Does anybody want an egg?

No, I don't.

No?

Okay.

I used the phrase, feel like.

You can use this interchangeably with want, except the form of the verb will change.

I feel like going to bed.

I want to go to bed.

So with feel like, we follow it with the ING form of a verb, feel like going.

With want, the next verb is in the infinitive.

Want to go, wanna go.

But the meaning of the two sentences is the same.

This applies to the negative as well.

I don't feel like having cereal.

I don't want to have cereal.

But when I said it, I followed it by a noun.

I don't feel like cereal, so I'm going to make an egg.

I don't feel like cereal.

So nothing else changes.

I don't feel like cereal.

I don't want cereal.

Good Daddy!

Hey Stoney, your mouth is totally full, so we can't understand you, so take your time, chew, swallow, and then say what you were trying to say.

Good Daddy!

It's good!

It's good?

The toast?

Yes.

Well, it looks like it's really good.

It's really good.

The most common breakfast in the US is probably cereal with milk.

That's what David and Stoney had.

What do you usually have for breakfast?

Post it to Instagram, tag me, at Rachel's English.

I love to see this kind of thing.

What people eat in different cultures.

Let's have breakfast together.

Mommy, I wanna have milk.

Okay, well how would you ask me to get you some milk?

Milk, please.

Sure.

What time are you guys getting together?

Here, David's talking about getting together with a friend and his kids.

100

This is a phrasal verb that means to meet, to spend time together.

101

You could also use it as a noun.

102

We're having a get together at our house this weekend.

103

Why don't you come?

104

If you use it with it, the meaning is different.

105

Get it together means to get organized or stabilized after chaos.

106

For example, if Stoney's having a tantrum, we could say, Get it together, Stoney.

107

Or, at a busy time in my life lately, I missed a meeting because I totally forgot.

108

I apologized and said, I'm so sorry I forgot, I just can't get it together these days.

109

Get together is to meet.

110

get it together, is to recover from a period of chaos.

111

Mommy, where is the flashing part?

112

Oh, I put it over there.

113

There.

114

Mm-hmm.

115

The flashing part.

116

Here, Stoney's talking about a camera that had a blinking light.

117

Did you notice that Stoney can't say there yet?

118

There.

119

He can't make a TH.

120

I've worked with him on it several times and he just can't coordinate putting the tongue tip through the teeth.

121

I know this is a huge challenge for my non-native students, so I just wanted you to know it takes time.

122

Stoney's been speaking English for over two years now, and he still doesn't have that sound.

123

Damn!

124

I'm interested to see when he picks it up.

125

And breakfast just continues with random loud noises.

126

I'll leave the barn on here.

127

Ahhhhhhh!

128

The rest of the morning continues with cleaning up the kids.

129

Okay, let's get you cleaned up.

130

How was get you pronounced?

131

Have you noticed that it's really common to hear a CH in this phrase?

132

Let's get you cleaned up.

133

When a word that ends in a T is followed by you or your, that T often turns into a CH.

134

Chew, chew, get you.

135

There's no rule about doing this or not.

136

It's just a habit that happens and many Americans do it a lot of the time.

137

If you don't do it, you can do a stop T.

138

Get you, get you.

139

Let's get you cleaned up.

140

Yum.

141

Any other flavors available today?

142

Stoney, you want these waffle pretzels for your snack, right?

143

Do you want one right now?

144

Special treat.

145

Snack.

146

We all need a good snack every once in a while.

147

This is not a full meal, but a little bit of food that we eat between meals.

148

Snack.

149

At our house, we get up anywhere between 6 and 6.45.

150

Stoney doesn't leave for school until after 9, so we have a lot of time to fill up.

151

Sometimes we go out for a walk, but often we just play at home.

152

I've already got it all ready for you.

153

Did you hear the U reduction?

154

Ya, ya.

155

I've already got it all ready for you.

156

Hey, hey, we're not skipping teeth.

157

Stand up.

158

Stoney.

159

We're not skipping teeth.

160

I'm sure many parents can relate to this.

161

When you skip something, you don't do something that is part of a regular sequence.

162

In this case, brushing teeth in the morning is definitely part of our morning routine.

163

Stand up.

164

Mercy.

165

Mercy.

166

This is an exclamation of exasperation, surprise, anger, or frustration.

167

I was feeling all of those things.

168

Luckily, he did decide to brush his teeth.

169

And now we brush teeth.

170

It's just part of getting ready for school.

171

My camera died.

172

After that, we got Stoney dressed and David took him to school.

173

Then he came home and took Sawyer while I went to work, and that is our morning routine.
