Hi,
I wanted to know what your 2 year old did throughout the day? I was watching Supernanny the other day and she always suggested a routine which included various forms of play time. Does anyone do that?
If I was to write down a routine then eating, sleeping and playgroups are there but the playtime seems to be up in the air, so would appreciate if you could share your day with me.
Thanks!

ok our day vaies lots depending on playgroup or dancing class or activitys etc but if it was just a normal day at home it would look like this:
7am up and breakfast get dressed
8 - 10 she's allowed to watch TV ie ABC sesame st playschool etc now she NEVER watches tv for 2 hours straight here she watches some plays with her baby sister reads etc but the TV gets switched off at 10.
10 - 12 i encourage her to play with her toys, draw, colour, play outside if it's a nice day (today she spent a whole hour having a teaparty with her dools so cute) or i cook with her, or playdough, or some sort of craft etc
2 - 12.30 lunch
1 - 3 sleep
3 - .30 High 5 is on TV shes addicted
3.30 - 5 play ie books or i do some singing with her, or she plays with blocks or her dolls
5.30 or 6 Dinner
6.30 bath
7pm wind down time
7.30pm bedtime
then it all starts again at 7 the next day
hope this helps :)

8-10: Does she need you to be with her and if you are doing your thing in another room, does she come looking for you?
10-12: Seems a long time for play. Are you there for the entire 2 hours? How do you do it? My dd's attention span is like a gold fish, 10-15mins max per activity.
How do you get anything done or time to yourself?
