Hiya. In my first month of being a SAHP and was just wondering what a typical day for a toddler might look like?

Currently ours is:
7am wake and play with puzzles.
7.30am watch CBeebies whilst I prep breakfast
8.00am eat breakfast
8.30am bath
9.00am activity at home
9.30am head off to a Toddler group. There is at least one everyday locally (music groups etc)
11.15am finish group and walk to shops. Do shop
12.00 lunch
12.45 put toddler to sleep. I then tidy and prep dinner
15.00 afternoon activity or garden or park
16.30 finish dinner whilst DS watches CBeebies
17.00 dinner
17.45 book/puzzles/blocks
18.00 treasure box- looking at different items
18.30 DH has DS whilst I tidy
19.00 bedtime routine

Does this look right? Due second baby soon so not sure what routine will look like then. Any tips or ideas?

Looks fine to me! Ours (with two toddlers 1 & 3) is roughly as follows:

7/7.30am wake up, cuddles & giggles in bed
7.30/7.45ish finally making way downstairs, pop tv on while I make milk/coffee/pack lunch for 3yo
8ish breakfast
8.15ish Put tv on for 3yo & jump in shower with 1yo.
8.20/8.30ish dress all three of us
8.55 leave for nursery
9am drop 3yo at nursery
9.30 go to toddler group of some sort
10.30 snacks
11am home sometimes via park
11.30 1yo has nap & I do washing/work/whatever
1pm collect 3yo from nursery
1.15 home sometimes via park
1.30 1 yo has lunch (3yo ate in nursery) whilst other plays /draws etc.
2pm onwards play with toys/puzzles/in garden / go into town if we need something
2.30/3ish snacks
3.45/4pm start thinking about dinner, make it whilst kids play/watch tv
5ish eat dinner
6ish bath time/teeth/pjs etc
7pm bedtime stories/milk/cuddles
7.30/7.45pm usually both asleep
8pm glass of wine for me! WineWink

Sounds pretty normal to me. How old is your toddler? I had a 19 month age gap and had a very similar routing until dd was born at which point the routine went to pot for many months!

Routine is similar to mine. Also expecting another so I'm sure a lot more TV and a lot less outside play group time will happen for a little while. And a lot more independent play or helping mummy do something with baby.
But hopefully won't change too drastically
