More or less

We spent the day at our weekend house as we were getting some new curtains installed.  Taking the children out of their usual learning environment  and into the weekend house was very difficult.  Speed was jumping up and down twice as much as usual and decided that it was the weekend.

My curtain lady couldn’t believe it.  Every second sentence was…his energy is amazing.  If only I could bottle it up.  Of course I was thinking the opposite!  He was jumping all over the place.  He couldn’t walk 5 steps in a row without giant leap/swivel turn/donkey kick combinations.  Then she told me that children never calm down as they grow older.  Once they have a temperament they are set.  She wanted me to know that I shouldn’t hope to have a calm child.  I wanted to say that my child is calm (sometimes…when he plays with his Lego and watches TV), but the evidence wasn’t in my favor.

All I can say is that I am glad he is a bright little kid and that he takes a lot in while he is jumping all over the place.  I have set work that we usually finish over the day.  He has plenty of time to leap and bounce and do what his body dictates and I’m fine with it.

More or less.

    I say let him leap and bounce so long as it doesn’t destroy property, injure people or is a breach of the peace. LOL.

    No really just when you do formal classes with a teacher teach him classroom behavior expectations & etiquette & all will be fine. And put off that kind of learning environment until he’s ready for it. LOL. Don’t know how much he’s done yet…
