If your little one is happily playing alone...

[Miss E]

I think it's great if they can play by themselves. It shows that they feel safe and secure in their environment, are confident and self assured. By the sounds of things you spend a lot of time with her and are a fab mum darl, so try not to worry, she's doing fabulously and so are you

I was the same. It sounds like though your spending lots of time with her anyway so i'd let her play

DS1 has always been good at playing on his own for periods of time which is great as allowed me to do 1 small task at a time. Eg dishes, stacking or unstacking dishwasher, shower, washing etc. Even now at 21 months he is good, I have friends whos kids need played with all the time and can do nothing, yes DS1 has days like this but few and far between.

DS2 I can put on the floor alone and he loves it while I do something with DS1 like change him or bath him etc.

As long as you do interact with them at regular intevals during the day thats fine.

Enjoy while you can

My DD was the same and it was delightful, but DS has always wanted someone with him and at 13 months will rarely 'entertain' himself. He makes up for it though, by being very cuddly and adorable most of the time

Sounds like you are doing a great job xoxo

Thanks ladies, makes me feel a bit better about leaving her to her own devices...although I wasn't too sure about it yesterday..she decided to pull all her books out of the bookshelf and leave them in a big circle around her
