What do you consider over scheduled for an almost 2.5 year old?

For context I’m currently reading the “oh crap” potty training book an there’s a line about toddlers being over scheduled..I do usually plan something for every day am I overdoing it?

Here’s an example of our week:

Monday- outside play date at my cousins house. My SIL also goes so there are three moms and three 2 year old and we play outside together 10am-12:30pm ish

Tuesday - library story time and music time 10am-11:30am

Wednesday- inside play day with the same people from Monday 10am-12:30pm ish

Thursday - outdoor school..basically it’s my child and either my husband or I going to a local preschool for one day and they do an outdoor nature class that we participate in 10:30-12:00pm

Friday - messy farm day..a local farm has a theme day and the kids do a few activities and play around the farm 10-11am

Saturday - farmers market usually in the morning

Sunday - dinner at a family members house

So that’s a typical week I don’t really have days where we are home ALL day. If we don’t have a play date or something I usually bring my child on errands.

Should there be more days that we are home all day?

He just had surgery and has been an avid reader his entire life but now needs it more than ever as he will be recovering for the next few months!

He always loved James Patterson, he just finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King but that’s all I really know. He reads the paper every single day front to back.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!
