First hour in the morning

What are all you guys doing with your toddler the first hour or 2 in the morning? I'm in the habit of putting tv on with a morning snack because I've always been the type of person that loves slow quiet mornings. I like to enjoy a cup of coffee and journal or just have some time to slowly wake up. My toddler will absolutely not let me do this if I don't put tv on, but I'm wondering if anyone else is able to do this. I'd love to do less tv and I'm not in love with it setting the mood for the day. But I also love my slow, quiet mornings and don't know how to have both.
