My 12 month old has been waking up early. Like 520 am and is wide awake and ready to go. I'm not in bed till 1130 because after I put him to bed at 8 is when I rush to finish housework and shower.

Anyway... 530 am I'm exhausted. Like dead tired. Even 6am. Thing is I never know what to do with him so early. He will only play with his toys for 10 minutes before he's bored and I'm scrambling to find things to do. Later in the day it's easier, we have a routine and I take him out to the park or the store or outside, etc. But 530 in the morning I'm not even sure what to do!

Any ideas for me? I'm feeling so guilty that I'm not an early morning person. I wamt to make sure we have plenty to do.
