[quote=Anonymous]I'm the most with the active 22 month old DD who posted and I agree that a plus for me was that my weight fell off as soon as she started walking.

-At the grocery store, I rotate between having her push the cart (some stores even have the baby carts for kids), sitting in the cart, standing in the cart and bagging groceries. She also has to "arrange" the food in the cart. I have to have a game plan and keep it moving so that we're outta there quickly!

-She will get on the slides at the playground 40 times in a row. Unless the playground is packed with kids, I follow her and get on too.

-She has to load and unload the washing machine. As I'm sorting through a pile of clothes to wash, she grabs one or two garments and loads and returns for more.

-When I'm cooking, I give her chopped items to add to the pot herself. (She's more likely to be patient as it cooks that way.)

-I give her things to throw in the trash all day. (Sometimes she's too good at this and throws away things I need, so be careful.)

-She will sit in my lap to read now, but she has to turn the pages, so we can only get through stories with a couple sentences on each page. I also am extremely animated.
