Its always hard knowing what is enough with toddlers. Right now Sammy's time is divided between Darren and I as we are both studying full time. He gets mondays and fridays, i get tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays. His out of home actiivties are gym on tuesday, playgroup on wednesday and fun centre friday...we were doing music on thursdays but ive dropped that as he didnt seem to be enjoying it very much.

At home I try to get him to do as much as possible because he is a very busy boy and will often start creating havoc if hes not busy lol. We read lots of books, do puzzles, play with playdough, do painting which he is absolutely loving right now. We do gardening together, he loves pulling out weeds and helping. He loves washing babies in the baby bath and having bubbles in it..more often than not he will climb in as well. He loves blowing bubbles, going on the swing, playing in the cubby and pretending to cook on the play stove. He is starting to enjoy dressing up like putting on silly hats and things. Puzzles hes not really into as much cos he tends to throw the pieces but your little girl might enjoy that. Stacking blocks are always a big hit here, both normal wooden blocks and the stackable ones. His tv viewing is very limited..he does watch the odd wiggles program ive recorded off foxtel and i will put those on when he is eating lunch and im eating mine.(and perusing bb!) Musical instruments are always fun to do cos littlies just seem to love them and its a fun way of being interactive. We also play gonna get you..(chasey) and hide and seek pretty regularly.

Have fun!!!!!
