[quote=Anonymous]Can you do anything like Simon Says with jumps, etc? You don't need a big area. Just realized my 21 month old gets a huge kick out of mimicking whatever action I'm doing. She's a super energetic kid and we struggle with the same, though I imagine having two is another beast. Other things that work for when its too hot outside. Pool- I have seen a mom who straps on her younger baby in a Moby wrap and brings two other children- not sure if your one year old would be too active for that already. We keep an old couch in the basement with loose cushions. We build forts and let our daughter climb on it. She gets that she can't do that on the furniture upstairs. We have a family membership to our local gym (which is a YMCA so maybe that makes the difference). When the group activity rooms and gymnasium aren't in use, we can go in there and kick around a ball, etc. My daughter lately also likes pushing around her stuffed animals etc on a little 4 wheeled bike/cart. Its kind of a pain in the living room, but helps with getting the energy out when we can't go outside. Water table too. [/quote]
