What’s your daily routine for a 20 month old (or there abouts)”

[Swaddleblanket]

& how often do you take them outside vs stay in doors
& what do you do with them indoors?

DD is 22 months. On the days she doesn't go to nursery, we usually take her out in the morning, to a park, or for a walk in the woods or on the beach or something like that. Sometimes we go out in the afternoon also. When we stay at home we have a mix of her doing her own thing, or we read books, sing songs, build lego together, sometimes we do drawing, etch a sketch, painting, glueing, playing with lentils or something, playdough. Or we spend time in the garden with a water table, digging in mud, playing with a ball etc.

Oh, we also get her to 'help' with chores. She likes wiping things with a cloth, drying dishes, emptying the dishwasher and hoovering!

DS is 17 months. We tend to follow the nursery schedule re lunch and nap times at home.

Wakes about 6-6.30
Plays in our room and then has a cup of milk and 20 minutes tv, then get dressed.
Breakfast at 8ish
If at home usually go to the park, for a walk etc between 9-10.30ish. On a weekend when DH is at home we might go out for breakfast. His swimming starts in 2 weeks too at 10am.
Lunch at 11
Nap 11.30-1.30ish
Have a cuddle with books and a snack and drink when he wakes.
We usually go out in the afternoon, socially distanced meet up or see my parents. This week I took him to soft play as it’s back open.
Usually back home for 4ish and plays with his toys for an hour / songs etc. Usually with me as he’s not great at entertaining himself.
Tea at 5
Bath before 6
Bottle (yes he still has a bottle....) about 6.30 and then he goes in his cot awake, faffs about for 15 minutes and goes to sleep usually before 7.

I like for him to take proper naps in his cot as he doesn’t sleep so well at nursery.

19 month old here, wakes up about 5.30am eek, breakfast at 7ish, usually go out 7.30-11ish- playground/zoo/park/friends etc .

Come home 11ish, has lunch, sleeps 12-1.30 ish, we go out again until about 4.30ish, tea at 5ish, then we chill for an hour; watch some tv, play with toys etc. Start bed time about 6.30- can take an hour. By 1am I’ve given up and he’s in my bed!!

Since look down I need to spend the days outside so am dreading the rainy winter!!!

Mines 17m. Summer holidays at the moment (I’m a teacher) so no childcare. Wakes up Between 7-8am, breakfast straight away. Then usually a bit of Tv/ playing while I tidy up, She has botttle get us both ready. Maybe head out around 9.30/10 (soft play/friends/park/day out), lunch out and about, come home about 2pm for a nap. Wake 3.30/4, more playing (inside or garden), dinner At 5, then tv/play until Bath at 6.45 the bed. Alternatively, spend the morning playing (inside or garden), nap at about 11, wake up for lunch around 1pm then head out somewhere after that, get home for 5pm dinner. Luckily her nap is fairlyyyy flexible (morning/afternoon) and she will usually sleep in the car if we go out all day, if I time it right!

Indoors I often have CBeebies on, she potters round playing with whatever takes her fancy, we might read some books. I need to get her involved in doing chores though!!!!
