Same here. Five bucks a week. Two's are easy, even with very little kids.
Just get in the habit of counting steps while you walk together, then either
start skipping the "left" steps (or right if you are left-footed <g>) or
alternate, you say "one" child says "two" you say "three" child says "four"
and so on. It doesn't have to be lessony--it's really a very natural
rhythm.
