Ds1 was three last week and he is a whirlwind. He is bright, intelligent and excellent fun.
But he never shuts up from the moment he storms into our roon at 5:45 and jumps on his 5 month old brother until he goes to sleep at 8pm singing his zillionth rendition of 'Rocking Robin; or 'Blame it on the boogie'
He storms around, shouting and chatting endlessly, booming and banging and whooshing. He plays his air guitar. He whooshes round on a wooden spoon like Little Cook Small. He answers back, deliberately does the opposite of what you ask him to do.
To me, he is just DS1 and makes me chuckle (and tear my hair out). But over the last few months, several different people have commented on him and have said how hyperactive he is and doesnt he sit still or shut up etc etc etc.
My gut reaction is that we just have a boisterous 3 year old who find life exciting all the time.........but DH wants me to ask 'those Mumsnutters'
What do you think.....
