Dora stays in her exercise pen while my husband and I work during the day. We work regular 9 to 5 jobs and we take her to daycare 3 days a week. The other 2 days she seems fine to sleep in her pen at home until we get back. This week I stayed home with her because of the snow and all she did was follow me to whatever room I was in and find a place to nap. So that gave me a good idea of what she does at home during a normal work day.
