We actually stay at home alot. Jake has preschool atleast once a morning during the term and fulltime as of August (thats 5 mornings) coz he loves being social but hes also really happy to stay at home and play by himself which is good.

I try for every morning at least 5 days a week.

But that is cause i've got 2 the same age & they start fighting over toys as they get bored so we met up with another mum either here or at her place so in reality it's only 4 mornings we get out.

Haha my DS doesn't do lazy either! We go out at least once every day and if I can't (eg when I couldn't get off the couch from MS) my helper would take C out to the playground or for a walk.

Every day, several times a day. Get to stay at home sometimes on a sunday. When I only had babies/toddlers though it was only once a week at best.
