[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Get a mini trampoline
2. Get a Rody
3. Get a little tunnel to crawl through
4. Get a beanbag chair to climb on/sprawl on/flop on
5. Get a laundry basket, fill it with heavy stuff and have him help you push it from one end of the living room to another.
6. Then get outside twice a day, every day, for a good hour of feet-on-the-ground running and climbing (i.e., time in the stroller doesn't count as outside time; time pushing the stroller himself does.) If he wants to climb things that are "too big" for him, let him try. Spot him, help him, coach him. Better he (and you) learn his limitations and abilities under supervision than when he tries the fireman pole while your back is turned.

All WONDERFUL advice.  (except that I don't have a Rody)

My 2 year old boy is like that - Never Stops Moving. Ever.

I think you have to respect that.  And try to work with it.  Help him expect energy as best you can!  [/quote]
