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.
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
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
