I was wondering if anyone experiences similar or has any advice?
I'm a sahm to my 12 month old dd. From the moment we get up we are playing and expoloring; looking at books, singing songs with instruments, practicing her walking, building blocks, rolling balls, and doing sensory/messy play (such as gloop, flowers and water, play dough etc). I also love making her little toys and activities for us to explore together (like sensory bottles, ribbon hoops, ball drop games etc). After lunch we like to take a walk or go to the park, but there isn't much to do in our village and I'm still learning to drive so can't take her out by myself.
Some days she has two naps, but some days she only has one. On the days she only has one nap though, I'm finding that I get in a real 'slump' by 4 pm. I don't have the energy or inclination to do much, and I find I'm relying on TV before dinner which I don't like doing. Then especially when my husband is working, I feel I'm just going through the motions of dinner/bath/story/bed, rather than truly enjoying it.
Does anyone please have any advice? Thank you
