Our daily routine generally includes a 45–60 minute walk in the stroller. The babies seem to really like it: they either doze peacefully or stare in fascination at the sights in the out-of-doors. We live in a really wonderfully walkable neighborhood, so it’s generally a pleasure for whoever’s pushing them along, too.

It doesn’t hurt that it kills an hour during the otherwise grim march from their last nap of the day to bedtime.

The problem is that we’re entirely at the mercy of the weather. When it rains, we don’t go for a walk, and when we don’t go for a walk, we’re all stuck in the house. Getting out and about is good for them, and it’s good for their caretaker. (Me.)

So: suggestions on things to do with the babies when a walk isn’t possible? Preferably that can be accomplished with a baby-to-parent ratio of about 2:1?
