I second aquinas advice. From the time our second DD was very young, her energy has been just exhausting. She can NOT stay in the house all day. She and I can pretty much just go do whatever, whereas she and daddy have developed a nice, activity based relationship. They camp, fish, bike, ice and roller skate, ski, swim, and just play all out door sports, whatever they might be. He tries to tire her out and never succeeds! LOL but, they have a great time bonding together over all of these activities. She has even developed a love for helping with things like yard work, because she just loves to be outside DOING something. They also will build things together, do house hold projects, etc.
