Also getting him involved with the chores I need to do in the afternoon helps! Like when folding clothes I let him put his clothes in a basket that I put across the room for him to walk back and forth to since I don’t fold them.
In the evening when I do my cleaning up of the kitchen and all I let my baby watch Ms Rachel songs and he sings and dances lol. He knows all the moves. It helps wear him down I think and also during the day we will like chase eachother around the house. He goes all around back and forth through the house and says run run. Sometimes I just play music while I'm doing things so he can dance. This is such an energetic age. Some days are easier than others. Then some days i can barely do anything because everytime I turn around he's climbing things lol
I wake up around 5:30-6 am every morning and sometimes he will wake up round that time or continue to sleep and we take his dad to work. Around 7-8 I brush his teeth, give him his multivitamin and some Tylenol for his teething. Then after we eat breakfast. After breakfast while I wash the dishes he will play with his kitchen or in his play area. After I finish cleaning up after breakfast I’ll play with him and then around 9/10/11 just depends on when he wakes up I’ll give him a bath and then put him down for his nap. He sleeps usually for around 2-3 hours so when he wakes up I’ll give him lunch if it’s around or after 12. Then if I’m able we will go to the park or the library to get us out of the house and then around 3 pm we pick up his father. Around 6 pm we eat dinner, his father and I tidy up and then go on a walk. After we get back from our walk I shower and while I shower I’ll have Luka watch minno laugh & grow bible which he loves and then I bathe him. After I put him to sleep.
Im a SAHM with a 15mo son and feel like we have a pretty good routine in place. He’s up and has me out of bed generally by 7am most days. Then we have breakfast by 8am. I try to get us out of the house between 9-11am to get some movement and let him people watch (even if it’s just like an errand to target where I let him walk holding my hand) and have a snack packed so that when we get home he takes his 1 nap while I have time for a chore or two and get lunch prepped. Then afternoon is generally open and I try prioritizing going outside even if it’s just to draw with chalk on our patio while I sit with him for example. I feel like new sights and sounds outside the home can be very stimulating and tire toddlers out in addition to moving around and playing!
