Starting on a Monday, the child spends Monday and Tuesday in home 1, Wednesday and Thursday in home 2, and Friday through Sunday in home 1. The next week begins with Monday and Tuesday in home 2, followed by Wednesday and Thursday in home 1, and Friday through Sunday in home 2.
After the second Sunday, the pattern starts again on Monday in home 1. The six handovers occur as the schedule moves between the six blocks: 2 days, 2 days, 3 days, 2 days, 2 days, and 3 days. Over the full cycle, each home has 7 nights.
