[quote=Anonymous]It is hard, and I am not even a SAHM.  We live in an apartment with one car, so it got tough when I couldn't fit them into a double stroller to walk to the closest playground (out of range for them).  We can easily walk to Rock Creek Park hiking trails or our local farmers market and library, so I pick one as a daily destination when they aren't in school.  They are motivated to get outside by packing snacks. They need to be able to run around like fools every day to be semi-calm the rest of the time.  They understand that they are allowed to chase each other on sidewalks but MUST stop at driveways or intersections.  My 6yo can finally read to the 3yo, which really helps!  Schedule the lego projects etc. for the 6yo during 3yo's nap time.  Mine both like art so we focused on teaching the 3yo to stick to his own sketchbook/poster board etc. so that they can draw or use tempera paint sticks at the same time without artistic sabotage.  We do a lot of divide and conquer on weekends so that the boys each get one on one time with a parent.[/quote]
