Also, we have no *real* schedule, mainly because I find it hard to get her on a schedule that works for both of us and isn't interrupted by daily outings. Plus, I find it easier and more beneficial for Sophie and I parent on demand - following her cues for when it's nap time, feeding time, changing time, play time. I just can't scheudle in what she will want and when. However, for a toddler (in my personal experience) I have noticed schedules make it easier, and they enjoy knowing how their day is going to go and what to expect. Plus they are usually down to one nap a day so that's the ony time you really have to schedule around..and yaddayaddayadda.
