I have no idea...no matter what I do they seem to have some back-up energy stored up and get another 2nd wind right when they start to calm down (except when they have been going, going, going without a nap).
I make Ryan run sprints. I put out a line of toys progressively farther away, make him run and get the first one and bring it back and put it in a basket, then he runs out and gets the next one, brings it back, rinse, repeat
We do a lot of stuff outside, which seems to wear him out more than playing inside.
I walk to the park (about a half mile) and have him actually walk, it takes waaaay longer, but it gets the energy out. Lots of running, jumping climbing on anything and everything. Wide open fields are fantastic.
Do you have a dog? Owen will chase or play ball with our dog forever!
Re: Active Boy Mommas
The only thing that works for us is outside play...or anytime he's experiencing something new....

Inside we make forts and mini obstacle courses.
