Theo is two, he hit all of his developmental target things relatively early (except for knowing his own name, he calls himself So-oh lol)
but his hyperactivity is driving me crazy... He can scale stairgates in seconds... this morning he tore into our room and broke a glass within 5 seconds. He knows what 'no' things are but gets excited and totally forgets, literally each day that DH gets home out house is trashed - soil from plant pots everywhere, juice openedand spilled for the fifteenth time, food smeared everywhere, there's always a plate broken from him tearing around the kitchen while I'm cooking...
I know this sounds totally pathetic compared to what most of the SN mums go through everyday (but ha he does bite kick and headbutt too!!)
how do you know when there is actually something wrong, rather than having a 'spirited child'? at my wits end, looking after him and his baby sister is just... Sigh!!
My daily soundtrack seems to be 'THEO!' repeated over and over... aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

This is me totally over-reacting... but my DS is driving me to absolute distraction...is there something properly wrong?
