Yeah, I pick up little kids a lot, and sometimes have them clinging like monkeys while I do other stuff, like squat down to pick up toys, or get arts & crafts set out, or random preschool tasks. It usually takes much longer with the extra weight, as well as its position around my midsection. Which is why I don't think fats make good nannies or preschool teachers - they just can't keep up physically with constant, different movement. If I had bad knees, I couldn't do half the shit I do at work & that's not fair to the kids.
