[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daycare has the toddlers outside for two 45 minute sessions a day.

Where are you guys getting four hours a day?!  Even on weekends my two and a half year old wants to come inside from our yard at around an hour.  [/quote]

Same.  These are suburban SAHMs with the “four hours” or those with onlies.  Impossible.  [/quote]

Come on people.  This isn definitely possible.  1.5 hrs taking walks in a ride along stroller spread out throughout the day to encompass errands (get a ride along stroller so toddler can stand when tired), 2 hours, sometimes more in nearby parks (AM and PM session, longer if the water play at the nearby water feature at a park was active, both kids loved that.  Ate lunch outside at the park before nap.  Sometimes fed them dinner outside too just sitting on the porch steps while people watching...we didn’t have a yard but if you do it’s much easier to spend time outside.  My friend kept her baby in a play yard in her backyard that had a little tent over it while her other kid played.  [/quote]
