Tic toc tic toc. It is 4:30 o’clock a.m. It is the start of my morning. What can I say, I have an early riser.
Fact: I don’t care waking up early as 4 as long as I had 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night (which is sometimes impossible). I just need to recharge my battery. You know, for another day filled with never ending house chores and exciting hours of activities with my little one.
I normally, set an activity every hour for my toddler. That is to keep her active, creative and happy. It is a long list since we’re awake since 4am. But all good and fun stuff. If possible I steer her away from tv or ipad. Too much of it will not only impair her eyes but also her development and temperament ( you probably hear a lot about that, so I will not go there any more). Here are few things we love to do for 8 hours before her nap time:
That said, I admire all moms out there who unconditionally give their best to make their children happy. The tasks is non-stop as well as the joy it brings. It is challenging sometimes but that’s part of making who you are as a mom. It is part of becoming the best mom as you can be. A woman needs 8 hands to do all the house chores, but she only needs one heart to be a mom. So yeah, Challenge Accepted!

- Listening to nursery rhymes and dancing with it.
- Play musical instrument with her like drums, trumpet, maracas or anything that bangs and create sounds.
- Learning new words through books, flash cards and everything we see around the house.
- Being creative with lego and blocks.
- Lots and lots of pretend games.
- Colouring her favourite book ( and favourite wall).
- Playing ball outside (with lots of running around)
- Tidying up her toys (teaching her until she gets the idea, who knows when).
- Playing hide and seek (mostly she’s hiding and I’m seeking but when you call her, she will answer “ I’m here mommy.” So adorable.)
- Tickling time (my favourite part)
- Her “me-time” (She needs it as it is the time she develops and come to know herself on her own.)
