He's saying hey mom! It's morning! Open your eyes or I'll pull out your eyelashes! Though he only says one word sentences, he literally does try and pull my lashes out. I feel like even when I'm having an enthusiastic super mom day, I run out of ways to entertain or teach him. for example, today:
6:30 woke up he had milk and a cereal bar.
7 we let him watch cartoons ( still quiet time while we are zombies) he runs around and plays independently and has a baggy of goldfish or animal crackers to snack on.
10 time to get moving, have second breakfast. Eggs almost everyday. Then get dressed. We play in the toybox until nap time. 
11:30 nap time today. he fell asleep on the couch, but he's good in the crib too on days I don't want to stay quiet
1:15 up and ready to go for a walk. I packed him some chicken nuggets to eat in the stroller and we went to visit daddy in the office
2:45 kalob drove us to target and then we walked home
4:00 he has a pouch of yogurt and half a fruit bar snack.
Then we draw with markers
The we have sensory play with bowls and noodles. Then we string the noodles
5:15 we pick up our messes
5:30 he eats an early dinner of fish fillet sticks, pineapple, and some baby food purée. (Don't want to waste it, even though he's getting older) Then it's quiet time, til bed. He watched Hotel Transylvania. He loved it. I wrapped him in a blanket with his milk in his rocking chair and he was content. I was able to get started on Kalobs dinner.
6:30 I offer him more food because he didnt eat much earlier. He eats 2 helpings of brown rice and some cheddar cheese cubes.
7:15 brush teeth, pjs, diaper, read a story, in bed, asleep by 8!
So that was our play by play today. I just feel like even though most of the day is planned out, he gets bored. I feel like I should be planning special things to do every day! But I'm running out of ideas! The weather is so back and forth too. By the time we get our swim stuff together, it can be raining before we get out of the elevator! Keeping him cooped up inside is not really fun for either of us. taking out the trash is even an exciting outing sometimes. if anyone else wants to share any ideas to keep a busy not yet two year old from tearing the house apart, comment please! 
I know exactly how you feel, Harmony! You do WAYYYY more stuff than I do with Miranda. I feel like such a boring mom compared to you! Haha! Miranda still takes two naps during the day, so I still have a lot of time where I don't need to entertain her. Anyway, I'll tell you what we do.
ReplyDelete7:30 am- Wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed
8:00 am- Do yard work (Miranda sits in her stroller and likes to watch me pull weeds)
8:30 am- Walk around the neighborhood
9:00 am- Watch a Signing Time Video. Sometimes I will sit there and help her to the signs. When I have lots to do, I'll just have her watch it by herself.
9:30 am-Hang out and play until nap time.
10:00 am- Miranda naps
11:30 ish-Wake up, lunch
12:00- Miranda will either play independently or help me do chores around the house for a little while. Sometimes we will go and visit our neighbors next door. Later, I'll sit down and play blocks with her and read to her.
3:00 pm-Miranda takes her second nap
4:00 pm- Wake up, Get her toy box out and play with her. Get more things done around the house, have her play independently.
5:00 Start to get dinner ready. Miranda watches The Hungry Caterpillar on Netflix. Lorin comes home and plays with her
6:00 Eat dinner
6:30 Take a bath and get ready for bed. Read to her.
7:00 pm-Bed time
Sorry this was the world's longest comment, but I can totally relate to what you are going through right now. I was just telling Lorin the other day that I felt like such a boring Mom and that I didn't really know what to do to entertain Miranda. I know it is kind of selfish, but it just isn't fun for me to sit down on the floor and play patty cake with her all day. So, I try to find things that I need to do and have her help me with it. This way, she isn't bored and gets to spend time with me.
