Hi
Looking for a bit of advice. I have a 22 month old dd who is very "active" and does not yet have the patience to sit and do activities for very long- she will start drawing and then gets easily bored so will run and play with her building blocks for a few minutes before wanting to read a book etc. This means that my time is usually spent trying to entertain her and keep her away from the tv (the only thing that will keep her attention for more than 10 mins).
The problem I have is that I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and I dont have the energy to be running around after her, organising activities and cleaning them up after 5 minutes and trying to find something else to occupy her time and I am increasingly turning to the tv to provide stimulation. I am starting to worry that I will have even less energy when the new baby arrives and that I am neglecting my daughter.
Does anyone have any experience of this? How do I stimulate my toddler whilst heavily pregnant and then looking after a newborn?
