Anyone can't sleep as dont know what to do with their toddler in the morning?

[Lelophants]

Honestly so bored to tears I could cry. I dont know what to do with him anymore. For hours we just walk across rooms watch him play with the same toys. It's so slow. I used to have loads to do and now I dont know anymore. Only so much I can clean with him there. Nothing that involves my laptop. No crafts things have worked so far. Our daily walk is his nap and I don't want to change that as his sleep is my one bit of sanity.

Feel like a rubbish mum.
I've always been such a busy person.

It’s relentless at this age. But once a day for exercise is guidance, not law. So go out twice if you need to. And have you noticed how quickly the light is changing - we will get there!

Lockdown with a child under 5 must be the pits I reckon - Im finding it hard enough stuck at home with a teen!
One of our favourite things to do when my two were little is go on a bear hunt - copying all the rhymes and adventure of the book "we're going on a bear hunt" - Oh no its a road, We cant go over it, we cant go under it, Oh well we will have to safely cross it. etc
Hold on tight this too shall pass xx

Thanks! DS has a tooth coming with the snotty nose he gets and took it out on me today. Peppa Pig saved the day in the end, and Prezzo takeaway and wine is on the cards for later!

I was going to say you could always go out twice a day it’s not the end of the world.

Sounds like a winning combination. Just keep muttering "it's nearly bedtime, it's nearly bedtime..."
