Starting on a Monday, the child spends Monday and Tuesday in home 1, then Wednesday and Thursday in home 2. The child then spends Friday through Tuesday—five nights—in home 1.

The child spends the following Wednesday through Sunday—five nights—in home 2. The pattern then starts again on Monday, with two nights in home 1. Each 14-day cycle gives both homes seven nights and includes four handovers.
